"Where Am I Based?"

As a freelancer I am currently not fixed in any one location for work.

For the past 3 years I have been primarily working in Lancaster as I worked towards my degree.
(I recently received my results for the third year and was very very pleased to have acheived a 1st!)

In the academic year 2009/10 I will be completing what will probably be my final year at Lancaster University, hopefully graduating with an MSci in I.T. & Media Communications.

So for about half of the year I am based in Lancaster, moving back to Manchester out of term time.

Student? Jobless? Enter: Student Gems

I have had a such a good experience with this site that I thought it deserved a blog post:

About a year ago I was introduced to a wonderful site: studentgems.com - a brilliant site for all students looking for part time work.

The site is so good because it allows students to advertise their own individual skills to employers and allows employers to search for students based on the skills they need!

Zen Sub-theme Error

The great thing about Drupal is that it comes with a variety of themes available to download. If, like me however, you want to carve out your own theme then there is an incredibly useful way of doing this: the Zen theme.

Zen is a perfect starting point for anyone who wants to give theming a go for Drupal sites. It is well documented and within a few easy steps you can be on your way to creating your own theme.

Completely New Site

Welcome to the new site design!

I recently updated my site from Drupal 5 to Drupal 6 and to go with it I created the new theme you see before you.

Instead of upgrading from D5 to D6 I decided to make a fresh start. My old site had a lot of unnecessary modules & themes installed as well as unwanted content from when I first created the site. For all of these reasons I decided simply to create a whole new site, delete the old database and content and start with a new fresh install of Drupal 6.
