Luxury / Cool Products Online…

 

This is one of my favourite shops on the web. Service is awesome ! Products are great ! and Prices are some of the most competitive I have ever come across.

Considering they are based in the US, I was expecting an prolonged delivery process, but their delivery to the UK was really prompt and fast - quicker than some deliveries from within the UK.

I have made 3 orders from http://www.worldlux.com and each one has been a great pleasure !!! Total recommendation !!!

Corporate Blogging - How ?

In 2005, as you can maybe see from earlier posts i started to get the bug to start finding out more about blogging… and am really pleased with the progress made. When I started blogging, and corporate blogging in particular…

Video On Your Website…

In recent years with the quickening pace in the proliferation of broadband we see more interest than ever in video footage on the web. The debate between which player (windows / quicktime / real) seems to be less of an issue now days with the .flv format. I myself have now had 4 instances (3 in the last 2 months) of customers requiring some video play back.

Blogging Part III - more…

This blog (experiment part II for me) is here for a couple of reasons…

• Having run a number of blogs through blogger (http://creativecog.blogspot.com/)  and myspace (http://www.myspace.com/creativecog)… I now have a greater understanding of blogs and what to use them for
• Due to advances I have made, in understand CSS techniques and standards compliant web development…

…and is where I take an element of control back from blogger and myspace, in running, publishing and customising my blog as I, and I alone choose fit.

So how am I doing that ?

Well having explored a number of content management / publishing packages (http://drupal.org/ and a few others that I’ll list when I can remember them)… I was getting to the stage where I was going to start from scratch and write my own blog software. They were a good technical base, but so many seemed to be incomplete and buggy when it came to the design and CSS. Whilst I understand the difficulties of writing compliant code that operates across all browsers… that is really where everyone who develops professionally for the web should be striving to get… and frankly I am not sure why people develop half baked themes for packages like Drupal.

With 7 years experience building a huge variety of LAMP systems, I have the technical skills (www.kookaburra.biz)… and with greater understanding of CSS and standards compliant design techniques (having just completed www.oakhamcricketclub.co.uk)… I now feel more comfortable with design skills… but then I came across WordPress… and everything to date has impressed me… so here I am… back in control of my blog…

Hello world! Blog Version III

Wow here I go… so far this is working correctly… now to add some content to my 3rd (and I think final blog). I will also be looking at bringing all my other blogs together to one location… based on projects that I have / am involved in, and a little about myself and interests.
