I’ve been slowly thinking through my plans for the new website in my rare free moments. I’ve decided to come up with a list of technology features that I want to introduce and learn about, then I’ll work out some way of incorporating them into the site. Once the bare bones of the site are up and running I shall start thinking about the aesthetics. Many designers I’m sure would say I have this all the wrong way around, but I’m a developer at heart, not a designer…
Technology List: These are the things I’m going to make sure are incorporated into the site.
- Adsense advertising – After all, if I do manage to generate any traffic on the site, I might as well try and make some money from it.
- Blog Hosting – I’m tired of working with WordPress on a hosted service. Mainly just because I want to have a bit more control over my page. I’m planning on installing an Open Source blog engine on my shared hosting.
[NOTE: With immaculate timing, the WordPress server appears to be too busy to serve my site at the moment, and the first three attempts to post this have just failed.] - A Mac Sparkle application for download. The other thing I’m learning at the moment is Objetive-C on the Mac.
Right now, that’s all. I’ll probably expand this list shortly.
