CSS is the reason your website sucks

 CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) have been something that I have been putting off learning when building and designing websites thus far. Honestly it has probably been like the biggest error of judgement on my part so far. I was fiddling trying to make semi-cool looking frames for about 2 weeks until I realized anything not relating directly to content is really the sole responsibility of CSS. If anyone is thinking of taking up website design (I highly recommend doing this) start with the basics of html then move to learning CSS as quick as possible it may save you about two weeks of your life.

 I will be posting how to make a basic CSS sheet that will allow you to create a visually impressive menu bar then a main frame on which to place your content. It took me too long messing around in HTML to get anywhere close to what would be considered a pretty old school looking site, I spent 1 hour this morning reading CSS on the train into work and figured out how to easily do what I had been racking my brain with over the last few weeks.

 Even though computing is frustrating when you reach those 'aha!' moments it becomes all worth it, so hang on in there and keep fighting the good fight.

The Surrey Garden - My new website for gardeners in surrey

Hi Everyone as I'm sure most of you are aware I have practically stopped posting altogether on any of my blogs, for once I have a semi-just reason. I received a promotion at work and have had to learn so much about finance my brain is getting foggy. I also and considerably more interesting recently became a partner in my girl friends mother's small Gardening company. Being Winter it was a good time to associate myself with how the gardening industry works while its the 'down season'. I also threw up a quick website that I am now working on in my free time.

 http://www.thesurreygarden.co.uk is the site if you want to check it out.

 Essentially the company is a landscape garden design company based in Surrey, UK and is what I am to be focusing the majority of my time on. What is relevant to you the reader of this blog is, computing in relation to businesses. Particularly creating website from 'knowing nothing' to creating a SEO optimised revenue generating behemoth.

 Anyhow expect more Html & SEO based posts in the near future.

Work that the company did last year, as I'm sure you can agree very impressive.
