Awesome, thanks for the info!

I'm also more of a designer than a developer. I work mostly in HTML/CSS, JS is something I experiment with, and I do/have done a lot of jQuery, but it's hard for me to get the hang of non-visual stuff. I spent a long time developing / massively altering WordPress themes. That sort of disenchanted me from it, because WordPress can be so bleh, I used to try and build cool little things (like a media player out of jQuery, which was the first thing I learned with it). Now I mostly just alter stuff to suit my needs, though I am working on my own Ghost (ghost.org) theme, so I'm not relying on someone else's theme that I've changed the CSS of drastically.

I sort of stopped doing web stuff around the same time I stopped doing Linux stuff, I've focused more on my content since then. I did a lof of php, but always sucked at that. I do love ruby, especially Sinatra (which I'd call a framework, but apparently it's a DSL? I dunno), and I should probably tinker with it some more.
