Zang standing in front of  a barn.This site is written, designed and maintained by James Nazaroff, AKA “Zang”.

Cook. Artist. Designer.

This site started off on an installation of WordPress 3.4, with a custom designed HTML5/CSS3 theme. Plugins used include Akismet, Lightbox Plus, WP to Twitter, Link Checker, RYO Category Visibility and Add New Avatar. A few minor changes have been made to WordPress base code.

All intents have been made to make the site as resolution independent as possible. Units are relative sizes whenever possible, and no pixel unit elements have been used in its stylesheets.

Utmost respect for W3C standards has been applied.

All design was done on a 2009 24″ Apple iMac with 8GB of RAM and additional funky (but irrelevant) peripherals.

PHP, HTML and CSS work was done in Espresso.

Graphics created in Adobe Illustrator CS5, with additional manipulation in Adobe Photoshop CS5

Hosted on 1and1.com.

The preferred typeface used in this site is Helvetica Neue (A.K.A. Neue Helvetica). Standard Helvetica makes and okay substitute, but lacks the nuance.

Syndication Feeds are in Atom 1.0 format.

A Canon 550D (T2i) and iPhone 4 are the primary cameras used in the photography.
