Blogging for over 25 years
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 »
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 »
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 »

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 »
Happy birthday to me! Somebody buy me a bloody Wii? Who am I kidding, you tight bastards, I’ll settle for Jonathan Cree-eeek on DVD! OK, I have to admit that it’s not my birthday until tomorrow but I figured if I post today, it’ll give you all chance to ship out those birthday cards and… read full entry »
If someone had approached me at the beginning of this year and said “this, this and this is going to happen” I’d have probably laughed in their face because 2006 has been so… life-changing! In so many ways, I think this year really was the start of my life as a grown-up. Around January I… read full entry »
I am sure if most of you took a guess at what I’d been doing for the past 5 days since I last blogged you’d probably say something like “spending Christmas with your family!” Of course, it’d be a huge lie; I’ve actually been playing Animal Crossing non-stop for about a week.
