My first thought as I started to write this was perhaps I should get the bugle out! Confused, you should be, for all though this is the first post for this new site I was actually thinking of the last post!!!

So finally got this up and running, I have had other blogs going in the past but always under different names, like the-ox.co.uk, but this is the first one under my true name.

This is of course, if you had not guessed, utilising the WordPress framework which is one of the best CMS’s around. If required it can be so simple,  i.e. use it out of the box, or if a bit more daring use one of the many thousands of free themes available then add a few plugins and it’s possible to create a very good site.

But of course that is too simple and easy and when have I ever wanted things easy!

So in my urge to learn the inner workings of WordPress I am developing my own theme and plugins, these will be made available to anyone who wanted them in due course. In the best traditions I have taken a theme which I liked the style of, wp_premium by R.Bhavesh (www.cssace.com), and modified it to make it my own.

Hopefully what I create will want people to visit and then come back for more, but only time will tell.
