Blog design - what would you recommend?
Wednesday, February 7th, 2007 at 7:47 am
It’s been almost two years since I did any design work on my blog. In that time the design has moved quite a long way away from the original look and feel, thanks to the addition of various new widgets and Wordpress plug-ins. I think it’s time to spruce things up a bit.

Somewhere to play
Thursday, January 25th, 2007 at 9:48 pm
Running a website means everything that happens on the site takes place in full public view. Any design tweak, software upgrade or testing you do can be seen by anyone who visits your website which can make you look unprofessional if things don’t go according to plan.
