It lives!

Rohan June 5th, 2007

It’s been more than a year since I first experimented with starting a blog, and after an initial burst of enthusiasm, these pages have lain dormant… I think the search for the “perfect theme” (I wanted the blog/website combination to be branded exactly the same, or as closely as possible) became all too much of a hassle. So I moved on to more urgent matters that required my attention at the time.

Well, I’m back… with some more advanced ideas for a redesign of my main site, which will encompass:

  • all my work stuff, covering everything on my current site;
  • pages advertising my hosting and domain registration services;
  • a custom built CRM;
  • a secured section for clients to log in and view their projects as ‘works in progress’;
  • a link to my ’sister site’ targeting a specific niche market (don’t want to say too much now - all will be revealed in future posts);
  • this blog (recently updated to the latest version, currently v2.2);
  • a photo gallery.

The search is still on to pretty up the blog with a nice theme, but I’ve decided that this isn’t as critical as I was making it a year ago - in fact it is likely to chop and change a bit as I discover what this Wordpress software can and can’t do. In fact, the only requirement I have for the blog is that the banner image will change automatically, either on page refresh or after a given period of time (the reason being that I’d like to use photographs I take as banner images for the blog). This should be quite achievable, as I know there are scripts that will do what I’m after.

So, for now, it’s simply a case of start bloggin’ and worry about the details later. I have no precise timetable for when I’ll post; I guess it will depend on if/when I have something to say that I want to share with the world at large - could be hardly ever, could be every other day… I guess we’ll all just have to wait and see.
