A while back, well after I’d purchased the current theme for this blog, I ran across another great responsive theme on someone else’s blog (unfortunately I never made a note of whose it was, so can’t credit them). The theme is called Selfy and I’d have to say it’s pretty clean and simple. […]
READ MOREOver the New Year break, I decided it was time for a change here on the Algorithms for the Masses blog.
