New Design
Welcome to the newly re-designed site (or version 3.0 if you prefer!)
The reason for changing the design was that I didn’t like the look of it after a while and also the code was riddled with errors which I was not happy with. This was mainly due to site being built in Summer 2008 when I had a lot less knowledge and skills in comparison to what I have now.
Through a combination of learning at University, reading blog posts and listening to podcasts I feel that my skills have improved considerably over the past few months and that a re-design was a natural progression of these new found skills. The aim of the blog was always to be a kind of personal playground if you like where I could put into practice skills and techniques that I pick up as my learning continues.
As with any new launch, the likelihood is that there will be a few bugs somewhere along the line so if you find any please either leave a comment here or drop me an email.

Looking good! Seems to me you’ve made some great improvements in the past few months. I like it!
Although, as you expected… there are a few bugs. The navigation hides itself under your introduction in IE7 and some of the padding seems a little off in the navigation and the header. Also, I feel inclined to tell you that the ‘Read More’ links on the home page aren’t good for accessibility – and could be fixed by adding ‘Read More on $$$’ so that screen readers have a better experience.
But over all this is a great change! If you need a hand, you know where to drop and email.

Yeah I noticed that, appear to have forgotten to change it before going live – oops!
It appears to be sorted now though and just going to work through some of the other wee bugs.
Thanks for the feedback!
