I’m not dead, just been working hard!

Haven’t made a post in a while but I’m still alive. I’ve been working away on the new revision of my website which you’ll be looking at right now :)

This one uses some jQuery in some places and is generally more complete than the previous version. I still have a few more enhancements to finish off so it’s still a work in progress as before. Please feel free to leave some comments on this post if you spot any strange happenings around the website, just remember to mention what browser you are using :)

Bye for now,

My Top 5 WordPress Plugins

I’ve been using WordPress for over a month now and I’m really enjoying it! Most of my web projects in the past have been large websites with mostly static pages and a news section.

The thing that really makes a CMS in this modern day is the plugins & add-ons available to enhance and customise it to your own specific needs. I’ve already started to get carried away with the vast amount of add-ons available for WordPress, but here are my current top 5.

Updates to the website

You might have noticed a few changes around the website. I wasn’t happy with the first attempt so I’ve made some alterations and I’m a bit more satisfied with the outcome this time round :) I’m hoping to enhance the side bar a bit more with integration with last.fm and possibly a few other web 2.0 websites.

I’d also just like to pay repects to a few creators of some resources I’ve used on the website…

The excellent “Add to” or social bookmarking/sharing icons you see below are from Komodo Media. They work really nicely and look much better than using the standard icons.

I’ve also made use of the Silk Icon Set provided by famfamfam.com, this set works anywhere! :)

Bank Holiday weekend is coming to an end now, so bye bye for now.

MarkTyrrell.com goes ‘live’

Hi All! If your reading this your now on my new website :) I’ve decided to just put this up and continue working on it in my spare time. I’m still not 100% happy with the design but I’ve gone through so many different ideas I’ve decided to just stick with one! Hopefully I’ll have some more free time to do some more work and a little more blogging. Bye for now!
