I’d first like to point out, this is the first time I’ve ever used WordPress, in all honesty, and so far it was a breeze to install. No one likes a long and complicated install for a web application.
Anyways onto the juicy stuff, who the …. am I? I hear you ask. Friends call me Haz, and I’m currently a student studying Foundation Degree in Computing (second-year). You may, or may not, have noticed from the title that I like coding. What better way to start a new blog then with the usual starting point of “Hello World!” :)
The reason I made this blog I guess was because I’ve been diving in with software development for the web (web applications or rich internet applications), and well in a small way WorldPress is a web application – so what better than to start there? Also means that anything I find of interest I can quickly blog it down for all to see, and even for myself to come back to it later on. Plus one of my tutors, Phil Emerson, has mentioned WordPress a fair bit and usually anything he likes I seem to like too – so I thought I’d give it a go!
Alright, just found one thing that’s bugging me so far with WordPress… the WYSIWYG editor seems to be two steps behind my typing. I’m sure there will be a way around that.
I’ve got a few things I’d like to blog down, but I feel that deserves its own post. Thanks for stoping by and I hope you enjoy reading things I shall be putting on here in upcoming days (or even months or years!).
ROFL –
if you don’t like the built in editor you can always replace it with a better one (FCKEditor springs to mind – but I’ve not tried it… just heard good things about it). Like you, I’ve noticed that TinyMCE can be a bit sluggish at times.
I guess I’m flattered – “anything he likes I seem to like too”. It seems to work both ways – remember I was suspicious of Stardock Fences until you persuaded me to give it a go… now I love it! XD
Since you’re a fellow WordPresser I’ll add you to my linky section. :)
Didn’t realise that was replaceable, I’ve been using the HTML editor instead of the Rich-Text style one – much faster!
I think we both have somewhat similar interests, when it comes to computing at least. Which is good, it means we both learn something new off each other – I noticed your notes mentions HTML 5 ;) (although that could of been a coincidence? *shrug*)
Thanks for adding me to your link section, I shall be doing the same. :)
