About

Hello!
I’m Manos. This is my personal blog which is pretty much all about creating and sharing (completely free) web design, code and knowledge.

This blog

I originally created this blog to experiment with WordPress and posted some scripts to go with it. Out of nowhere, few of them became somewhat popular so I did post some more and eventually entered the world of blogging.

Today, I mostly publish jQuery plugins, web apps, CSS templates and tutorials. I really like experimenting with web UX/UI so I often post full-page scripts such as image galleries, single-page templates etc.

Free

Everything is completely free here, licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 3.0, GNU General Public License or GNU Lesser General Public License.
You have permission to use any plugin, script, template etc. on personal or commercial projects, as well as study, improve and modify it however you like.

Me

In short, I design and develop for the web using mostly web standards. I love HTML, CSS, client-side scripting (especially using the jQuery library) and developing for the WordPress platform.

I’m in no way shape or form an expert in any single technology but I have more or less good knowledge in HTML, CSS, JavaScript/jQuery, PHP/mySQL, Flash (actionscript 2.0 and animation) and design (web, UI and graphics).

Work

I’ve worked for various agencies (especially as a web/UI designer and Flash developer) and of course as a freelancer, usually building back-end to front-end websites.

I don’t have an online showcase of my work. It’s not really convenient due to the variety and type of projects and clients I’ve done work for but if you’d like to see some of it, send me an e-mail at .

WTF is “malihu”?

malihu comes from my last name Malihutsakis which is Greek (yeap, the vast majority of Greek surnames suck big-time). Mine sucks so bad, even Greeks have hard time pronounce it, so malihu is really a shortcut to my last name. Almost everyone calls me that way since forever so I stick to it.

Donations

Writing decent software can take a huge amount of time and supporting a single popular plugin is really a full-time job. In addition, high traffic blog means increased running costs and expensive hosting servers. This is a personal blog without any ads or big network supporting it. Donations by users is the only source of income and essential on running and updating it, so any amount you donate is greatly appreciated.
