I recently noticed that I've had this WordPress blog for 10 years. A full decade of moaning about my hair on my little development website and it seemed like a good time to reflect and post something. The main purpose of this website was to give me a place to test things out and practice new skills. I build websites for a living so it's important that I keep up to date. Obviously I can't try things out on client sites and I'm notoriously bad at making the time to build pretend websites, so … [Read more...] about A DECADE OF THE SUBURBAN AFRO

EXPERIMENTING
The whole point of this site was supposed to be as a development site where I could test out new things without causing havoc with my "real" websites. What has actually happened is that I created the site and once in a blue moon, I use it to test out a plug in before I use it somewhere else.

Unfortunately I tend to … [Read more...] about EXPERIMENTING
USING MY AFRO TO ILLUSTRATE SUCCESS ON SOCIAL MEDIA
If you know me offline, you'll be well aware that my hair changes on a regular basis.

I primarily build websites for small local businesses but I also offer help with social media, digital marketing, SEO or anything that involves a computer.

Being a small business I understand the pressures they're under and whenever I can, I try to steer them in the right direction and most of them take my advice - … [Read more...] about VILLAGE WEB COMPANY
WORTHYONTHEWEB
Although this website is dedicated to complaining about my hair, along with the occasional epiphany about actually having nothing to complain about, online I'm generally better known as WorthyOnTheWeb. I build websites for a living and SuburbanAfro was a project I started because I wanted to experiment with some WordPress themes and wanted a blog to play with. I have several personal websites and blogs dotted around the internet, most of which need to be updated including the WorthyOnTheWeb … [Read more...] about WORTHYONTHEWEB
