As this is the first post on this blog, I though I’d let everyone know what’s happening with this website and what to expect in the future.
The site’s coming along nicely and is nearing completion – a few more pages need some content but in terms of front end functionality this is about it.
It’s is running on WordPress, with the blog in separate part of the site. While out of the box WordPress is set up to be a blogging platform, the system and community are so great you can basically set it up to do whatever you want. Even Ford’s official site runs on WordPress.
The logo design was an interesting experience. I ran a competition at 99 designs and the eventual winner, Sima, turned out to be not only a great designer but a very patient person to work with.
Once the site’s finished I’m looking forward to posting some interesting stuff on this blog. I’ll try to cut out the fluff, and I’ll write about what I’ve been learning in the SEO/Online Marketing field.
Along that vein, expect to see:
That’s it for now, I probably won’t update this blog for a little while until I’m happy with content and functionality of this website, but since this websites starting to see a fair amount of traffic I thought I’d write a quick update on where it’s all going.
Good luck with the new site Jules, and well done for securing the domain name.
I’m in West Auckland as well, perhaps we could catch up for a coffee at some stage and throw some ideas around – there might be ways we can help each other out.
Cheers,
Harvey.

Hi Harvey,
Sounds good – I’ll send you an email.
Replying beneath your comment because apparently all my WordPress hacks have broken something in my comment form.

Just experimenting with BH for now so nothing too insightful. Fun, but harder than I would have thought. Yahoo Pipes is my friend.
Makes you feel like a bad ass though, which is always good.
Getting your hands dirty… best way to learn
