My debut (new) blog, outlining my (also) new website with screen shots from old site and a brief explanation of the differences between the two.
Main differences are:
- CMS-driven using Joomla! (not quite ready)
- New Blog..technology, music and no doubt sport reviews
- My Twitter feed (@benchadwick)
- ShareThis feed
The main objective for the new site is to update my experience for creating websites and web content. The old site was very much an exercise in learning HTML and as such was developed in notepad using a basic HTML editor. The result was a much improved knowledge of HTML but a dated and frame-based site that looks like and 11-year old created it! [That's probably insulting to 11-year olds, I take it back!]
Not exactly a work of art, but a good learning experience. My old site introduced me to the concept of inserting features from other websites into mine. I played around with Google's Picassa, You Tube and an RSS tool to create richer content than what I could have achieved on my own.
I also wanted to have keep my bookmarks online, so I could access them from any PC. However my database skills weren't up to the task and I ended up not being able to add bookmarks effectively. I've since discovered Delicious which does this for me now!
I'll continue to update content and add more features to the new site using the old-fashioned bit-by-bit approach!!!
