A simple question that I have answered today. This blog needs updated every so often to ensure the best WordPress compatibility. To do this, I need to temporarily close the blog down to maintenance mode. This means that the transition will be as seamless as possible whilst as effective as possible. I will not post before doing this, but I will probably skip most minor updates, only updating on major builds (or perhaps every few builds) as I want to keep disruption as minimal as possible.
In about 2 or 3 minutes I will be deleting my old blog to make room for my new WordPress one. I have moved all of the posts over to this blog so they will still be available.
You may have noticed my blog has now changed to a WordPress blog. This is a new update that I have fired in today, unexpectedly! The new design makes it much easier to find the information you need, as well as the post you need. On top of that, the blogging system when compared with my host's default blog is much nicer. I can also do many more things as well as having the MySQL power over the database.
I was a bit inspired to build one of these blogs and have been for a while. So here is my new WordPress blog. For future reference, I will begin transferring all of my old blog posts onto this blog.
My website has got support for MySQL databases and I have just learned how to implement a database. So I started to work a bit on some PHP to access my database and got it working. Because of this, the subscribe button now puts the email addresses and names into a database which I can easily export for the newsletter.
Great news! The Google Search on my website has finally been updated by Google. Praise Google, its only taken 2 weeks to update it. Now it searches my new site rather than a non-existent old site.
Since the newly designed website has kicked off recently, people have noticed it and have requested a site very similar. My next project is designing and building a website for my first client with a semi-familiar appearance to my own website!
This is great news as it shows that people do appreciate my website!
So whilst many of you may have noticed that I have redesigned the site, some of you may not have. New things like subscribing to the site, a dedicated software section rather than a link to the section, a new menu, a front page with a purpose, site links, web policy, a new theme that is consistent throughout the site and CSS support are now making the site look good.
I am also very proud to announce the support for all major browsers now, including Firefox, which had errors previously, as well as Chrome, Safari, Opera and Internet Explorer.
The site has displayed errors on Google Chrome just now and because of this is going through a very important redesign to support all of the main browsers. Please bear with me with me whilst this happens.
Hello again followers! My website has now been fully redesigned to have a much nicer feel and appearance! Please come and visit as you'll see how much better it is already!
