A Funnelweb World

After months of delays, the re-build of my website London for Free is finally underway.

I know it will be a struggle as I try to update my web skills, get my head around new technologies (AJAX, anyone?) and remind myself of “old” ones (literally dusting off my old PHP manuals).

I’m not a techie, you see. I’m a dabbler - trying to learn just enough to get by and do what I want to do, which includes building the whole site using CSS-based layout. Yes, pages using table based layouts are on their way to the “deleted items” folder.

So I’ve spent my christmas break reading lots of CSS manuals and design books like Web Standards Solutions and Bulletproof Web Design, picking the brains of some of my esteemed colleagues regarding CSS design and collecting my thoughts.

And now I’m ready to get on with it.

I’ll use this site along the way to share my discoveries as I work through the re-build. Hopefully it will encourage folks like me (ie. definitely NOT developers) who might be wanting to build their first web site or take their current site to a new level.

So off we go………..
