After many years of thinking about it and a couple failed attempts, I’ve finally gone and created a blog at my personal site. What you see right now is far from complete but it’s at least in a state where I can now start to publish content.
My goal for this blog is for it to become a mind dump for all my fellow devs at The Hangar Interactive and Critical Mass. For anyone else who stumbles upon the blog, the more the merrier. The more people I can get following web development best practices the better as it just makes my job easier. I’m also hoping that the blogging will help me become a better writer so I can quickly and clearly get the thoughts out of my head.
A few things to note about this blog:
It’s built on HTML 5!
This is my first attempt at using HTML 5 and I’m sure I’ve got a few aspects wrong but I’m excited to be learning this new
standard which I think we’ll be seeing much more of very soon.
No IE6 support.
Given the audience I hope to attract here I shouldn’t be seeing IE6 users. In fact I haven’t even opened the site in IE at all yet! Cutting IE6 support also made the decision to goto HTML 5 a lot easier.
Powered by WordPress.
In my opinion, this is the best free publishing platform out there.
About 30% complete.
As the post’s title states, this blog is a work in progress so if something looks broken, it’s only because I haven’t gotten to that part yet. In time (hopefully not too much time) it will all come together.
Designed by Hale.
I’ve been strictly a developer for a long time now. Designing this site is the most time I’ve spent in Photoshop in a long time. Feel free to pick it apart and send me your thoughts. Just remember, being the creator of this site I have the right to completely ignore you (Scott I have the right to ignore you at all times, not just in regards to this site).
