What’s On Your Dashboard?
Monday, July 10th, 2006 | 1 Comment »
Every day, the first thing I do when firing up the internet is load up what I like to call my “web dashboard”. This is a page (web design confession: layed out with tables) that pulls together a load of different stats from my various sites (and client sites), as …
Comments Broken
Thursday, November 17th, 2005 | 2 Comments »
Comments are now fixed, see below for an explanation.
The comments are broken on the site at the moment - not sure why, as I haven’t changed anything, but it’s coming up with a permission error when a comment is submitted. I checked the CHMOD on the files to make sure …
We Are Sailing
Friday, August 5th, 2005 | No Comments »
Well, despite promising yesterday that I’d be posting more often, from tomorrow I’m going to be away for a few days, and so I won’t be able to make any posts until next Thursday.
I’m off to North Wales to do a bit of sailing, and all-being well, if the …
The Rebirth
Thursday, August 4th, 2005 | 1 Comment »
Due to events that are going on in my life away from the web, I feel that a change would be appropriate here too, so the time is right for another redesign, and I’m naming this one “The Rebirth”. You may have noticed that the work is in progress as …
Moving Over to WordPress
Sunday, March 27th, 2005 | No Comments »
During this recent (and still on-going) re-design, I decided to start looking for a decent Content Management System to replace my self-built scripts that had previously been powering the site’s backend. I had originally thought that by building my own CMS, I would be able to get exactly what I …
Re-Design In Progress
Tuesday, February 8th, 2005 | 1 Comment »
Never satisfied with the design of this site, I’ve started a live redesign, playing with new ideas before your very eyes. Please accept my apologies for things being broken, inconsistent styling and generally offending your eyes. As with any of my web developments, familiarity breeds content, and usually by the …
RSS Hole: Update
Sunday, January 23rd, 2005 | No Comments »
In a blatant back-track to my previous RSS Hole post, I’ve resurrected the RSS section as a directory of feeds with a little bit of information about each where possible. This was done as there seems to be a few referrals from search engines with people looking for feeds, and …
RSS Hole
Thursday, December 30th, 2004 | No Comments »
Due to the increase in security placed on this server, I am taking down the RSS feed section, as it is no longer able to read feeds from external sites. A list of blogs that I read regularly can now …
Live Search Added
Sunday, December 19th, 2004 | No Comments »
You may notice that a new section has appeared on the homepage called “Live Search”; typing in the input box produces a list of results from both the blog and linkage sections.
The interesting bit about this is that it uses a technology called XMLHttpRequest - I can tell you’ve switched …
Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes
Monday, December 13th, 2004 | No Comments »
Once again, changes are happening on WV4. As ever, they are unfinished but I’m putting them live on the site anyway as I complete them.
A lot of the changes are to do with the “backend”, so these will not really be obvious (unless something breaks, which is bound to be …
Courchevel Photos 2004

Well, the camera arrived, and the (few) pictures that I took in Courchevel are available here.
Wayback When…

Check out the web as it was with the Wayback Machine, an archive of websites over the years. There’s even a copy of WV4 from way back in 2002!
New Webmaster Tools
Monday, February 9th, 2004 | No Comments »
A raft of new webmaster tools and links have been added to the Web Tools section. Along with domain name checking, there are link checkers and utilities aimed at search engine optimization.
Earn Me Some Money!

Earn me some money!
If you are thinking of buying any books, music or DVDs through amazon.co.uk, why not buy it through WV4?! For all purchases made via WV4, I will earn a small amount of commission, which might in the [distant] future add up to the price of a pint! …
