Blog - Updates

added new Jet-pac industries site to portfolio and added summer flowers 2006 photo gallery.

Added new stump cross website to site portfolio.

29th December 2006 - added Renovation photos.

13th February 2006 - added Yafforth photos.

28th January 2006 - re-did the blades page. Changed all of the individual pages for each knife into the standard site format (all pages in site are now in the same format), changed photos to be gallery based and added fact sheet to each page. Added completely new pages for SOG Bowie, Cold Steel Ti-Lite and Kershaw Leek as well as a new Kenpo Knives page which includes my Hibben Alaskan Survival knife.

27th January 2006 - Added blog! Made changes to the main stylsheet to fix the problem I was having whereby the wrapper div was only expanding to the size of the main text div and not the menu div, i.e. if the menu was longer than the main text it was sticking out of the bottom of the bounding box! Fixed this by floating both the main div and menu div. Removed all messy instances of <p><br /><p> that were scattered around as spacers as this is messy and poor markup! Proper use of margins in the CSS should have everything looking OK. Globally removed two unused divs as well as unused footer paragraph from all pages.

22nd January 2006 - updated the Jackie Chan page which I hadn’t touched in ages. Added a couple more reviews and added IMDB links to each film (used a perl script to parse the HTML from Jackie’s IMDB page and extract all the database IDs then parsed them back into my page). Broke changelog down into archived years and current year format.

21st January 2006 - moved all the Garforth Old and New pages within the standard page templates instead of having them full screen and made some minor grammatical changes to the text. More pages are planned for this section as people seem to enjoy it; I get far more e-mail about those pages than any others!

26th December 2005 - added a Christmas photoset and re-styled with a new desert stylesheet!

5th November 2005 - Re-did some photo sets from the originals for better size/crops/colour etc.

28th October 2005 - Added a section of Steve’s photos to the America trip galleries. I have a large genealogy section in the works but it’s not ready yet, should get it finished sometime in the new year after I move house!

25th September 2005 - Added one mono photo to mono gallery.

10th September 2005 - added wardriving Garforth page.

30th August 2005 - added photos and mini-travelogue from my coast to coast road trip accross the USA.

25th June 2005 - Improved the menu design and made site-wide typographical improvements (working in an Art College this stuff is starting to rub off on me!). Also updated the kenpo video links.

5th June 2005 - added black and white photographs and removed a lot of the lower quality America 2003 photographs. Added my new Black Bear Classic into the blades photographs and also replaced a lot of the existing blades photographs with better quality ones. Finally added a gallery of CGI work (as in Perl, not Gollum).

5th March 2005 - added Eryholme and Kirby Sigston photosets.

24th January 2005 - Updated just about the whole site, new style and new content! Updated biog, updated kenpo section, removed some computing pages no-one ever looked at, updated website portfolio, new martial arts photos and, fireworks photos, new Spyderco and CRKT knives in the blades section as well as an easier to navigate Garforth Old and New section. The whole site is now fixed width apart from pages with large photos which open without menues and instead have a link back to their parent page.
