Hi, my name is...

Paul Hopkins. This site is for those interested in all things YWAM, blogging, web design and my other ramblings!

All New Look Website

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.

    Reading at the minute

  • The Adobe Illustrator CS3 WOW! Book

    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!

  • Binding and Loosing

    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

  • Brilliant presentation

    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!!
