This is where I put everything that is related to the operation of the Perishable Press website. The name “Dungeon” started as a joke, but just kinda stuck around, mostly because I am too lazy to change it to something else. Here you will find everything from software and plugins used to official site policy and statistics. Plus a whole lot of other stuff, like where I’ve been published, online friends, guest posts, and even a demo of AddMySite, one of my freely available WordPress plugins. So lurk around a bit and learn a discover some of the inner workings of Perishable Press..

Some of my current sites and projects..

Perishable Press
Perishable Press serves to define and highlight ideas, consolidate and integrate projects, and organize and express the myriad happenings unfolding throughout my vast creative empire.
Digging into WordPress
Co-author Chris Coyier and I help you get the most out of WordPress with our book, Digging into WordPress, and its official companion site, digwp.com. This project began late 2008 and has helped many people take their WordPress skills to the next level. And it's a lot of fun too ;)
.htaccess made easy
My new book (and website) about .htaccess. Learn everything you need to know about .htaccess with in clear, concise language and hundreds of awesome techniques. Membership includes access to the Help Forum, template files, lifetime updates, and all the extras.
Monzilla Media
Established in 2007, Monzilla Media is where I do business. From small business sites and personal blogs to WordPress plugins and customized themes, Monzilla Media strives to develop high-quality web and new media solutions.
xy.css
The xy.css stylesheet is a lightweight, flexible CSS template for designing websites on a responsive liquid matrix. The site itself documents xy.css and showcases many examples of use. It’s very much a work in progress that I hope will manifest into something in the future. Keep an eye on the xy blog for explorations into the exciting realm of responsive, grid-based design.
WP-Mix
Launched in December of 2012, WP-Mix is a flow of high-quality code, snippets, and tutorials to help with WordPress development and web design in general. The site itself is designed with xy.css, so it’s responsive and sticks to a CSS matrix (vertical & horizontal grid). See it in action by clicking the “show matrix” button at the top of any page.
CSSresetr.com
CSSresetr lets you experiment with various CSS resets and watch them work on live web pages. You can use the site’s demo pages or even upload your own. Also includes a complete library of all the best CSS resets. 100% Ajax-powered and awesome.
eChunks.com
A place for collected images, random photos, and lots of random nonsense. There’s a private chat/upload forum on the site so members can sit there and chat, upload images, and watch the updates in real-time right there on the screen. It’s a lot of fun, and basically where I go to chill out and relax online.
