Knowing where to eat is only half the battle, the important half is what to order. Dishizzle aims to provide information, photos, reviews, and ratings about the dishes on the menu.

Megan McDonald is the author of the award-winning Judy Moody series and its companion series starring Stink. More recently, Megan McDonald has recalled some of her own childhood with the warmth, humor -- and squabbles -- of three spunky sisters in The Sisters Club.
The Theme
Needle Consulting teamed up with Pete DeMarte, a former co-worker of mine, to create the custom theme. In addition, Tim Medlen often chipped in with graphics and layout.
We based the theme on Strange Little Town. Our goal was to make the design stand out from the majority of author web sites we ran across during the preliminary stages of development.
The Homepage
The homepage went through several iterations. The current homepage was born during the demo of the Stink Books. We were both loving the cork board so we decided it would be cool to carry that idea over to the home page -- thank God for page-front.tpl.php.
