I’ve spent most of my evening fixing interface issues on my blog and have finally added a search box on my top menu. I didn’t wanna do it this way because there’s already a search box right next door if you look at my site on a desktop but there’s no other way to do […]
I want to quickly go over tough cuts and how you can achieve something pretty unique using the sous vide method.
