Finally, a WordPress We Blog. The old blog has been scrapped and replaced with a new one. Anyone can now join and write with me and other bloggers! Here's why you may consider it:
- My personal blog brings in about 30+ views a day which can easily transfer over to this blog as I recommend and write for it
- The blog is run by me, and I know how to run the blog to make it successful
- It may encourage others to view your own blog
- It is created with WordPress
So if you want to be an author or editor, please get in touch.
A long time ago, I used to have a Facebook page. But during late 2010 to late 2011 (the bad era for my website) I did not maintain the page, and Facebook discarded it as a deprecated blog.
I am happy to announce the page has been reopened. It can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/jamiebalfour04
Some pages have now been turned into PHP equivalent pages, i.e. from HTML to PHP. This marks an important change in the site which is now going through a major change to bring more of an interactive PHP experience. Pages such as Articles, Reviews and Tutorials, as well as the Development subpages have all become PHP pages, as I have updated the site to automatically display articles when I upload them. This makes it much easier for me, but also guarantees the accuracy.
So despite what I said a few months ago about never going to become a web developer, I'm really starting to get some where now and many people have begun commenting on how good my website is beginning to look!
A simple question that I have answered today. This blog needs updated every so often to ensure the best WordPress compatibility. To do this, I need to temporarily close the blog down to maintenance mode. This means that the transition will be as seamless as possible whilst as effective as possible. I will not post before doing this, but I will probably skip most minor updates, only updating on major builds (or perhaps every few builds) as I want to keep disruption as minimal as possible.
In about 2 or 3 minutes I will be deleting my old blog to make room for my new WordPress one. I have moved all of the posts over to this blog so they will still be available.
You may have noticed my blog has now changed to a WordPress blog. This is a new update that I have fired in today, unexpectedly! The new design makes it much easier to find the information you need, as well as the post you need. On top of that, the blogging system when compared with my host's default blog is much nicer. I can also do many more things as well as having the MySQL power over the database.
I was a bit inspired to build one of these blogs and have been for a while. So here is my new WordPress blog. For future reference, I will begin transferring all of my old blog posts onto this blog.
My website has got support for MySQL databases and I have just learned how to implement a database. So I started to work a bit on some PHP to access my database and got it working. Because of this, the subscribe button now puts the email addresses and names into a database which I can easily export for the newsletter.
Great news! The Google Search on my website has finally been updated by Google. Praise Google, its only taken 2 weeks to update it. Now it searches my new site rather than a non-existent old site.
Since the newly designed website has kicked off recently, people have noticed it and have requested a site very similar. My next project is designing and building a website for my first client with a semi-familiar appearance to my own website!
This is great news as it shows that people do appreciate my website!
