Here’s an old example of my work which I put together… according to the dates of the files on my web server I created this in 2000, and like everything I created to date I’ve looked back over the code and seen numerous ways to improve it. It’s very strange in this age to see how things were done before the days of the JavaScript libraries.

Anyway, it’s a sliding peice puzzle and that’s pretty much it.

After years of constantly meaning to update my site with a fresh look I have made life easier for myself and installed Wordpress. I have numerous iterations of sites I have made a start on with a view to being used here, but I never had the conviction or was never happy enough with the solution to publish it. I guess I shouldn’t have been so pre-occupied by setting up a site framework and content delivery engine and just installed blogging software years ago… after all the reason people visit websites is for the content, not how it’s delivered, even if it is an engineering marvel.

As for Wordpress and the themes available for it… that makes me so happy. As when I am job hunting I always advertise the fact that I am not a visual designer (I also resent being called a ‘web designer’), even if there are elements of User-Interface development that could constitute design, it’s having to design the visual parts of an interface I struggle with.

Anyway, this is my first time using Wordpress and I’m impressed.
