A second attempt

I seem to be doing well at this blogging thing this time around – I was working on adding a photo gallery in the downtime at work today, and I think I managed to get one implemented. Now it’s just a case of adding some photos, which I shall get around to at some point tonight I think.

A good friend of mine, Nic, approached me a couple of days ago about helping him out with a project that he’s had on-and-off for a little while now. Basically, he’s had a hand in a technology news & discussion website known as iWinUx since the beginning, and after it disappearing from the internet for a few months, he’s resurrected it in the hope of it hanging around on a more long-term basis.
I’ve agreed to help him get the thing up and running again, and may possibly stay on with it as a hobby once it’s good to go.
He originally offered me a small part as a writer for the news section of the website, but me being me,  preferred a more hands-on role, so I agreed to be taken on as a Website Developer to help iron out the kinks in the website design and forum skin.
So far, so good. It seems the Invision Power Board 3 skin that they chose is a port of the old skin; originally used on the older incarnation of the site, but updated to work with the newer software.
I’ll keep the blog updated on the progress of the site.

Also, for what it’s worth, I have added a plugin to the blog today that posts to my Facebook page when I post a new blog article. So, if you’re one of my Facebook friends, you now have the fantastic privilege of being alerted to new content here once a day. Whether you read it or not is another thing, but hey – I’m allowed to try, no?
