Loves Threadless Fan Blog

Website design, logo design, iGoogle Gadget, Google Adsense campaign, backend scripts

Loves Threadless is a pet project of Synapse Studios owner Chris Cardinal as a fan blog for popular online t-shirt site Threadless.com. The site covers news and reviews community-submitted shirt designs. It features a simple design concept built on a popular (heavily modified) WordPress theme. The background changes dynamically each time the page is loaded with a new Threadless shirt design. Further, an iGoogle homepage gadget was created that highlights the current "Thiftee" $10 t-shirt deal. It also served as a base of operations for the Loves Threadless Threadcakes Cake Competition.

So the architects of a language have to choose between adding more keywords and constructs or having longer, but simpler sequences of existing ones.

PHP is a very easy language to learn and use because it has a syntax that is a simplified sampling from C++/Java and Perl. People who use these languages pick up PHP fast, and people who haven't used any languages often learn PHP with as much ease as they would learn Perl.
