Look Familiar to You?

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 »


This Design…

..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 »


Shut Your Bitching

I was sent the link to Beautiful Day/Piczo Help earlier as a nomination for a Pants Awards. I was going to give one but I can’t be bothered to type all that crap out so I will say: shut your bloody whining you ungrateful tit. You just can’t expect to be able to redistribute some… read full entry »

The Demise of The Martini Lounge

About 50-60% of my female visitors will have heard of The Martini Lounge. It’s a few years old now, and for the most part used to have a positive reputation for being somewhere that ladies could hang out and chat at without blokes pestering us, and without the typical e-drama/etc that happens at a lot… read full entry »

On Useless Tutorial Websites

Forget rounded corners, forget one-column layouts — web tutorials are definitely hot at the moment. Or, maybe as I gain knowledge myself I’m noticing other people’s poor attempts more? Either way, every day I find a new handful of websites and each one seems to have their own selection of tutorials. Of course, I say… read full entry »

Something a Bit Different

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 »


I Need Ideas

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 »


Lesson One: Pissing off Audi Drivers

In case you’re the curious type, here’s a quick lesson on pissing off illegally parked Audi TT drivers who think that Reserved Parking very clearly marked as private right in front of the space is theirs to use as they choose: Park behind them! And in case the bright blue Astra behind them (with the… read full entry »


It’s ok to steal, it’s the Internet!

In December I posted to a thread at the fanlistings message board where a member was advertising their little hosting business. Replying to several other members who were ooh-ing and aah-ing at the prices, I pointed out that they weren’t that great and that after commotion regarding other generic teenybopper hosting it might be wise… read full entry »

BellaBook3.3 RSS 2.0 Feed

Six — via the fanlistings message board — was talking about her script wishlist for 2007 and mentioned a guestbook with RSS 2.0 capabilities. Not one to miss the opportunity to gain a potential user, I offered to knock something up for BellaBook. The results, which work with version 3.3 are as follows (save it… read full entry »
