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. I am a massive fan of the phrase "Do as I say and not as I do" I strongly believe that if you want to get better at something that you need to practice until you get good at it. 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 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
IN DISGUISE
For the next few days the site is going to look a little bit different. I built this site on WordPress and there have been a couple of updates which mean that the theme which controls how this website looks has changed - and not in a good way.

Technically this shouldn't take very long but when you're self employed you … [Read more...] about IN DISGUISE
