Content Weekly's my side project and I'm happy to answer any questions you might have about it. I'd also love to get any feedback the community has for me.

It's funny now these trends work. I remember the first time I heard a someone refer to themselves as a ninja and I thought it was so cool. It was this guy that had an ad on CSS Mania, if that tells you how long ago it was.
About 3-4 months ago I was sitting in class and heard my teacher talking about how all the kids want to be called rockstars and ninjas and I knew the trend was dead.
