A notebook entry published on

Finally got round to building my own site, I sometimes wonder if web designers are like doctors in that respect, to busy taking care of other people to take care of themselves.

I have built the site using WordPress, primarily because I find it very easy and it does everything I want (or there is a plug-in to do it for me) and it is a doddle to use. I initially starting using it after I was asked to use it by a client, before that I used to ‘hand-roll’ most of my CMS’s, but after using WordPress for other people I cant see a reason to not use it for myself.

Off course I always end up writing a ton of functions anyway, but that’s my job isn’t it?

I’ve decided to keep the site simple and let my work speak for itself and created a minimalist theme based around the 960 gridsystem. I am a great believer of standing on the shoulders of giants.

Quite busy at the moment (always good), doing some work for OpenOn as well as having just pitched for a few freelance gigs which i should here back from shortly. So I am taking this opportunity to dig back through my archive of work and put it online.

First post, so short!
