Goodbye Dribbble.

Another year of counting things.

Want jam, have jam.

It’s time to begin, now count it in, five, six, seven, eight.

Embedding content is a pain. There’s got to be another way.

Choosing a new static site generator to power this website.

Who is this website for?

It’s that time again.

Twitter is a place I visit to get annoyed. I need an alternative. That alternative could be my very own website.

In what has become a familiar pattern, having decided to embark on a redesign last February, I then spent the following 18 months iterating and iterating. Now, after many missed deadlines, I have finally launched my new site.

I’m attending my second IndieWebCamp this weekend, with the sole aim of implementing webmentions. This has meant prematurely launching my new Jekyll-based website. That this has been in development since last February, many would say this moment is long overdue.

The Christmas break provides the time to tie up loose ends and make much needed progress on personal projects. At least, that was the plan. Once again I find myself distracted by the task of making this website just that little bit faster.

Following on from last July’s extensive redesign of this site, the last few weeks have seen me revisit the design and implementation. In light of today’s Responsive Summit, and with a few people asking about the changes, I thought I should provide a little more detail.

Unless you’re viewing this in your RSS reader, you may have noticed a few changes to the site. It’s been well over two years since the last redesign, but I’ve been working on this update on-and-off for the last 12 months. I could probably continue tweaking and refining, but as a wise man once said, “real artists ship”.

February coming to a close means I can conclude my month long challenge to post to this blog each day. Having only written 14 entries, it’s a challenge for which I only half succeeded.

With January over, and having completed the month without drinking coffee, so on to February and a far more ambitious challenge.

It’s probably no coincidence that my return to blogging comes while sitting in the departure lounge of Birmingham International Airport.
