If you ever wished you could find me, Chris Marshall, on social media websites then you are in luck! I recently created a new profile website which contains links to some of the places on the World Wide Web where you can find me [cfm24.com].

I wanted to keep it simple and logical. It even looks good on IE1.5! Here’s what it looks like on an iPod Touch (Safari):

I’m sure you’ll sleep better tonight safe in the knowledge that you will now know how to find me on Flickr, Twitter, Facebook and so on…

Wordpress 2.5 PC1 Available

Chris — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 22:21:29 +0000

First ‘Release Candidate’ of WordPress 2.5 is available for a ‘sneak peek‘. From what I have seen and read so far WordPress 2.5 does look different but not so different that current users of WordPress will be totally lost. It has had a favourable makeover and does offer a number of additional features.

Matt from WordPress explains:

A customizable dashboard, multi-file upload, built-in galleries, one-click plugin upgrades, tag management, built-in Gravatars, full text feeds, and faster load times sound interesting? Then WordPress 2.5 might be the release for you. It’s been in the oven for a while, and we’re finally ready to open the doors a bit to give you a taste.

I will be installing 2.5RC1 for use with Blog24 over the next few days so please accept my apologies now if something breaks on the site, but please do let me know about any problems that arise.

Design for Blog24

Chris — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 13:57:45 +0000

At the moment blog24 is using a theme designed by Nurudin Jauhari and will slowly adapt it for my needs over the next couple of weeks, so don’t be surprised to see frequent changes during this time. Although the current theme is acceptable I am busy designing a custom theme from scratch, when time permits.

I took the decision to start publishing before developing a custom theme as there could be big changes when Wordpress 2.5 is finally released and this could delay the launch further. Also, as with any new website or blog, it takes time for them to be publicised and listed on numerous directories and search engines. At the time of writing I have not even started that process as more content is required, another reason for publishing using a third-party theme.

As time passes I will document the progress of blog24’s development and overall progress and will include techniques used to publicise the site along with summaries of their success or otherwise under the category ‘Blog24 Progress’. Hopefully this will become a useful series for blogger beginners.

Introducing the Blog

Chris — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 23:27:28 +0000

Photography and design are passions of mine and this blog aims to share some of that passion with the world. Whether it be my own photographs or that of a ‘found’ photographer it will be shared via blog24.

The same applies to design; it could be website design, architecture, industrial or graphic design.

Content for blog24 will be in numerous formats. Articles that focus on a certain topic, tutorials (including screencasts), reviews, quick tips and occasional downloads.

These days computer hardware and software are often used for design and photography and therefore these will feature on this weblog too.Of course these topics are not set in stone so expect additional topics as this weblog develops.

Thanks for reading,
Chris
