About This Site

This site is an ongoing project, it has been designed with minimal functionality which I can build upon when other things slow down.


As such it will grow over time as I add more features and content.


The next items on my checklist for this site are:

  • RSS feed for my blog entries
  • About me and Contact Me Pages
  • Editing my Tag Cloud so that the names change size based on the number of entries.
