A fresh start...
Welcome to my new website - RichJobling.com
The last version of weirdism.co.uk was a pain in the arse to maintain and it was getting a bit out of date, so I decided to start all over again. Spotting that my own name had become available as a .com domain, I thought I'd snap it up and go with that. Weirdism is fun, sure, but having had a succession of 'fun' domain names, it was finally time to get a proper one.
Changes...
Aside from the blatantly obvious design change, I've decided to reduced the amount of stuff offered. Controversial, perhaps, but I think it's a risk worth taking since my audience consists of about two people and I'm fairly sure one of them is that bothered about what goes on here anyway.
I have kept the photography since that was the whole point of my setting up a website in the first place. The music section also remains, although both sections have been reduced to show off the better examples of what I've been up to in both areas.
I've ditched the LiveJournal blog thing and the cumbersome iFrame that was required in order to display it. Instead, I have a bespoke blog created by means of a Dreamweaver template and the ability to edit the blog directly using Contribute. Yeah, I know you don't care about all that really, but that's what I've done anyhoo.
Sadly, the poetry and video elements seen on weirdism.co.uk are no longer available here. The poetry section requires too much work to maintain and I only ever created one video for display so didn't really see the point in keep either section alive. These omissions make for a more streamlined website - one that is much easier to maintain and to update.
Any updates to the site will be posted below, with the exception of blog entries which will just go on the blog page. Makes a lot of sense that way...
Latest updates...
23rd February 2009 | At last - music added!! Only three tracks so far, but perhaps more to follow when I decide what I want to put up. Hopefully you'll be using Firefox with the Quicktime plugin, otherwise it'll look a bit odd. Still, the tracks should play OK.
22nd February 2009 | I finally succumbed to Twitter and have added a new page for you to view my tweets. Better still, sign up and interact with me!
14th October 2008 | Tweaked viewable area to make it a bit larger. Also added page heading images for a cleaner look.
