[i]Stevieboy...The Return

Okay, okay its been ages since I've written anything here. My excuses are many but not really good enough.

I want to redesign my website with a CSS changer so that I can use it to show off my style sheet skills by adding new designs to it. Then I started reading Wordpress tutorials in Web Designer and fancied a bit of that. I though it would finally get me going with PHP and that I can all be in one place on the web. My standard web hosting package with Heart doesn't want me to do this and will not support Wordpress. For this I need to upgrade to 100 MySQL databases from none. Why not offer a blogging package with one database? This package is three times the price of my current one so I though I would change web hosts...

...But then I would have two hosting packages. The other thing is I host my friends website for their small holding where they breed free-range pigs, ducks and chickens and I would have to redirect their domain. The excuses can be never ending if I let them.

I have also nearly finished a re-coding (as opposed to re-design) of the Pinnacle Lofts website which I decided to do after it required an update to the content. This site was written a long time ago when I didn't know any better and uses tables with a bit of CSS for styling. To revisit such messy code after a couple of years was nothing short of a pain in the ass so I decided to bite the bullet and redo it. Some things have been shifted about a bit and a general tarting up has been achieved. The code will be much more accessible (more about this in future posts I expect) and overall, easier to manage. There are a couple of things left to do such as find an email matching script for the form and test it out and maybe a new banner which looks more grown up...I need inspiration for that.

I've also joined Twitter as iStevieboy and will have to make sure that I am not so lax. This post has only taken me 10 minutes so it's not a major chunk out of my day!

Back sooner than last time...
