For anyone who normally reads my blogs you might have noticed a small change as the site has moved from ‘.com’ to ‘.co.uk.’
This is because I have taken the plunge to wing it a bit with a new domain host. This should give me more scope to be able to fiddle with the settings a bit more.
So for this reason alone please bear with me if the site looks a bit strange for a while. As I am getting to grips with how it will look & how it will be linked to other platforms.
I got into website stuff mainly during the pandemic when I had time on my hands & my blog was just a simple site. Since I have had the opportunity to develop someone else’s site I have learned many things.
Learning as I go
The main one being I like being able to do some of the ‘behind the scenes stuff’. Hence why I wanted the freedom to do more with my own site.
I didn’t really have much to do with computers. Indeed the first home computer wasn’t purchased until the 1990’s.
I do recall attending a MS Dos course provided by the company I worked for at the time. As I recall it wasn’t the most user-friendly. So I was pretty much a computer luddite until I was given my first Mac Book some twenty odd years later.
Any skills I now process are definitely due to the combination of googling & trial & error! The technology is helpful nowadays as you can acquire prebuilt bit of code. These are known as ‘plug ins’ & definitely make the task simpler but you do have to be careful.
Old Dog New Tricks
I found out the hard way by adding stuff that potentially could have broken my site. I enjoy trying to alter the look & structure of my site. I also have had fun creating content via my phone & then adding the results.

I confess some of it is not of the highest quality but as I didn’t start until I was older I think I deserve a little credit.
