Well, did say that I wouldn't, but in my break from revision I've come on to update my blog. It's really only to say one or two changes to the site, and that's about it.

I've changed to a proper copyright symbol in the footer now, makes me feel a little better, and I've also added the Javascript for Google Analytics, so now I can see how few people visit my site. Quite disheartening, although...you may notice on the side there is a link to r3new, the online digital portfolio for none other than Mr Samuel Rayner. It's XHTML valid, although not CSS valid because the W3C curentl doesn't recognise opacity settings, and is accesible too. Good job! (that makes me sound cheesy and American...Is that a bad thing?) Yup, it's a cool site, however.....not as cool as mine will be!

Yeah, things are going ok in my new website design. It's going to be a Flash site, but I'm looking deeply into how to make it accessible - and yes, it can be done! - I even started a topic on .net which can be found here, and it prompted an interesting, if not heated debate. Well, basically, because of my advances in Flash and my big break from blogging, this site is looking a little shoddy. The pages are messed up, backgrounds change, links dissappear, and copyright symbols change. However, trust me - I'm still going to use this site, and after my own proper website is finished, I will take time to make this the best it can be. Hopefully by buying it it's own URL, and creating the pages properly. That way, I can practice my CSS and HTML. I've looked into hosting, and at the moment the main contenders are GoDaddy and 1and1, although I've just thought of Fasthosts. Must remember to look into them. GoDaddy seem to be slightly more expensive, and offer better sizes etc, but 1and1 are cheaper, and although I've heard a few bad things about their Customer Service, I've also heard that they're pretty damn reliable. I did look into 2Advanced hosting, but it's very expensive. Done by the guys at 2Advanced...my website may be similar to that...a little!

Well, that's about all. I've gone all techy! Oh yeah, DWM sent me 50 copies of my fliers, which I finished. Picture to follow...!

Back to revision then....after tomorrow the worst is over...tomorrow...Biology, History and Chemistry...killer!

31 days later

And so, my 40th Blogger post comes a whole month after the last one. I don't know what's happened - my blog has fallen apart. Design on it has gone no where really - the home page has changed, but I forgot to change all the others, so currently it looks rubbish. Anyway, I'm sitting at home in the middle of 2 weeks of exams, on Sunday morning, doing revision instead of going to church. I havn't been to church in the morning for ages, and I havn't played drums there for even longer. I am looking forward to when the exams end - hopefully begin really finishing off my website.

Yes, that's right, my Macromedia Flash website, which works. Yup, I finally figured out my Actionscript problems and ta daaa, I've got a working Flash website. Currently no hosting or domain, but hey, I'm getting there. Trouble with this version is that it's not as creative as I'd like it to be, so whilst I have a working version, it will become outdated very soon.

The creation of my site has been brought on by my breakthrough with Actionscript, inspiration from the FWA and the decompiler that I've started using which came with an issue of .net. Don't worry, my blog is linked from the site, and I'm planning on still using this site.

Anyway, so much has happened in the last month, and I'm sitting here with a fan blowing cool air on me trying to remember the more significant parts, but I can't. I need a new phone, and I'm looking to buy this. It looks to be pretty damn good, although will probably be very expensive.

I really am struggling to think of what else has happened, and now as a result I probably will forget some of the good things that have happened in the past month. I played football with the usual crowd last night.

Here's one - I went to Swansea for a few days in the half term holidays, and the picture is one out of tons that I took - I finally have a 1GB memory stick. I really like it. Oh yeah, I may well have by the start of the next school year my own computer! I was offered in Swansea Mary and Rons old computer - running on 98, very big, pretty fast but not what I want. Dad said I can do stuff with our old computer, so I'm planning on upgrading it. Waheed said that he managed to do all of his for around £170 by going to computer fairs, so that's my plan.

Anyway, I'll try and get better about posting - just like Karen Cheng I've had a break for a few weeks, except hers was 3 weeks and mine was a month. I have to say though, I've had many chances to blog but havn't. The next week I've got my hard exams which I'm not looking foward to, but I have to do them. I won't blog for this week, but after then I'm looking to get a website up, and start freelance work.

Ok, that is all. Goodbye, and speak next week. And just found a certain site....(SR)
