So, thanks to everyone’s comments and especially Ryan’s infinite words of wisdom… I have come to see the err of my ways in terms of posting something which I obviously didn’t know enough about. However, this post could still serve a purpose as a tutorial on how to convert your file_get_contents() commands into cURL.

23 CommentsSo I’ve been super disappointed with the site’s current “logo”, and finally decided to do something about it. I’ve enlisted the help of a very creative and talented young woman named Jenny Crespo (@LeMinxxx) who really seems to enjoy art, and who’s passion for it really shows in her work. She’s given me FOUR rough draft concepts from which to choose one to...
