Presenting: Mrs. Emily
There comes a time in every blogger’s life when he has to decide whether to use his/her platform for questionable (read: non-development-related) purposes. Everyone has their price. Baby announcements, for instance, often show up on development blogs (though not this one yet, thankfully). Marriage, definitely. Pet deaths, occasionally. And, of course, family members starting their own businesses.
My NYC-based sister, as it turns out, is just catapulting into the world of fashion design with the launch of her first line of clothing. This event coincided with a recent obsession of mine with Flash-Wordpress integration, which lead me to offer to develop a mini-site for her to showcase her wares. A discussion of the techniques I used in combining the Wordpress platform and some light Flash development would actually be on-topic here, but I feel that the disclaimer above has absolved me from any real dev talk in this article.
So, all you PXW readers who like to dress pretty (or, more likely, have relations and ladyfriends who do), allow me to present the inaugural summer collection of Mrs. Emily.

While I’m in no way qualified to comment on the clothing, the splash page for the site looks great. Very clean lines, and I love designs that utilize the full screen width.
Good luck to your sister!

Thanks! I’ve been really into layouts that match the device recently. Fluid layouts on PC screens make a lot of sense.
