The KKI England website design is pretty much there now. There are some minor changes to make over the next week or so, but it’s over to the KKI staff to put all the content in now. KKI’s hope is that this site will give them a better presence and ability to connect with the many hundreds of young people they work with… including hundreds who are involved with them at Spring Harvest. Go for it guys!

The release candidate of WordPress 2.5 is available now and looking good! The backend has received a visual and conceptual overhaul. It’s looking smarter and makes more sense. It will mean that some of my WordPress templates may need an overhaul. I am also designing KKI England’s website and I will need to design it according to this new version. great an excuse to play with it! read more about this new version. Read more about 2.5 here.

Sitepoint have just released a great resource. An online css reference.
css should be so easy, yet can end up being so complicated, usually because of all the quirks of Internet Explorer and the way it makes things look on the web. For those of you who don’t know, ‘css’ stands for ‘cascading style sheets’ and is the computer code used to make web sites look like they do. This reference could help you hugely as you get into making web sites.

the new weblog look is now finished. What a fun project this has been! So hopefully it is now more straightforward, clean lines and looks ‘uncluttered’. I wanted to remove the ‘boxed in’ feel of the previous look. I’ve also switched to wordpress to manage the site rather than building a CMS from scratch. Wordpress is fairly easy to work with and I can happily hack away at it to make it do what I want! Hope you enjoy it.
I managed to get a hold of this book in Waterstones with vouchers from Christmas and I am loving it so far! I have particulary enjoyed it introducing me to the way Illustrator handles palettes and colour schemes. I have wanted to get into Illustrator for a while now, as I think it would be a brilliant addition to my armoury for web design. So far, I am loving it!
This came highly recommended and I found it very helpful in understanding key passages like Matthew 16. Very good exploration of the authority of believers. It was not as theologically rigorous as I was hoping, but nonetheless, some excellent exposition. Well worth getting
I just picked this book up, after it was highly recommended. I'm seeing whether I can sharpen up my presentation skills. I know you can't replace the anointing, but I am sure that sometimes our poor presentation gets in the way of the anointing!!
