Recently I did a half-way makeover of my site/blog that included removing the contact page that only one, count them, one person ever used. Now granted it was a guy from Microsoft I had recently met and contacted me about a job opportunity, I never the less decided to get rid of the whole contact page thing and simply put an email link in my about page.  Wanting to obfuscate it from evil email harvesters, Wordpress by default doesn’t offer a easy way of doing this within a post.  That’s where the Wordpress shortcode API and CodeIgniter come in.

Having been working with CodeIgniter for about two years now, I have always struggled with how to structure my themes. This past week I came up with what seems to be such an obvious solution for external css handling in CodeIgniter, that I was surprised I haven’t read about it elsewhere. Perhaps it’s so obvious that most felt it need not to be mentioned, however I would have loved to come across something like this long ago.
