It’s been a few months, but there’s finally a new unrequested review up. The victim this time is one ‘nothingbutsong.org/tutorials’; in accordance with my ranty post on bad tutorial sites I have made the review pure critique of the code/tutorials. Most of the rubbish (and yet amusing) ‘banter’ has been taken out in favour of… read full entry »

You know, when I posted my whiny entry yesterday about how my layout was annoying me I had no intentions on changing it. I was going to fiddle with the structure a bit and get a search box added somehow, but then Rose said: I like this layout better than the previous one, but I’d… read full entry »

..is really bugging me now. I miss my sidebar, and I loathe my navigation. I still haven’t added my site name to the header and I feel it’s too high. The footer looks weirdly green on my Mum’s monitor, and there’s so much stuff missing (search bar, etc) that people are starting to complain. *woe*… read full entry »

As those of you who don’t read via my feed may have noticed, I’ve had a bit of a fiddle with the design. I’ve done that trendy thing and gone one-columned. (Columned.. is that a word?) Also done a bit of nifty CSS navigation but I can’t decide if I like it because drop-downs are… read full entry »

If you were to sum up jemjabella.co.uk in one word (positive or negative), what would it be? Also, how would you represent that in a design (either in a series of shapes or an image perhaps)? Alright! I admit this is not some sort of social-impact exercise and I’m not trying to discover how my… read full entry »

Due to the relative simplicity of PHP, more and more young webmasters are getting their hooks into scripting. This can be a good thing — it increases the range of functionality and fun that we can add to our websites without the need to learn how to code ourselves — the problem is, a lot… read full entry »

Just a quick update to say “hoorah”, “success” and various shades of “awesome”! I woke up this morning to only 3 spam comments, which is greatly reduced from the 20-200 (!!!) I’ve been receiving of late. I added a line of code to mail me any comment, plus the score, of anyone who got registered… read full entry »

As some of you may have noticed, BellaBook and BellaBuffs have been moved “home”. This was a decision I made a long time ago, I just had no idea which way to go about it. I won’t bore you with the technical details, but safe to say it makes sense to have the scripts named… read full entry »

Not dead. Still no Internet at the flat. Very busy at work. Know of possible bug in BellaBuffs — will update ASAP. Hope everyone is well… ETA: Fancy yourself as an expert tutorial writer? I’ve decided to open tutorialtastic up to the possibility of guest tutorials. Read the guest profile for more information. Ideally looking… read full entry »

You may notice some little changes here and there around the website. I’ve been fiddling (out of boredom) again: the most prominent change being the navigation. I have moved sub-pages (if applicable) up to within the actual main navigation list based on the page you’re on so that they’re harder to miss. You may have… read full entry »
