IsaacHenry.com now online!

Yehaa, I have finally managed to get my site to a point that I can put it online. It is by no means finished, but I can now have a blog, which is a start.

In a moment of blind inspiration I decided to develop the backend of the site from scratch. In hindsight this was a dumb idea, as I had no clue as to how much effort it would take to get it even to this boring point.

Jobs I still have to do - get 'add picture to post' working, get rss working, start the portfolio section going….plus a million other things I haven't thought of.


Ah well, I have certainly learned a lot in going the DIY option. Something I won't be doing again however.

I hope to keep this blog regular, and I will be transferring all my BCT blog posts to this site, which should in theory keep it fresh.
Please comment, as that is certain to make me want to post more often.

I would put my email in but there is no field to do so...

I really like the b+w photography and overall the design is good I just have major issues with the massive overkill of the tracking! It may look cool but it's not very easy to read when you have such large gaps between your letters :(

In small areas this is nice; eg. headlines, the navigation or the about you section on the right but for body content — ouch!

Yea I never understood the reason for having an email field? When I can just reply to you on the website, and otherwise no one else sees it.

Changed the tracking back to 0em.
