Rubbish

An icy blast of winter hit the country. Here we were spared the ice and snow but cold wind certainly made the day chilly. Chilly enough that for the first time in a couple of year the Gorse Fox lit the fire as he watched Spurs beat Blackburn and haul themselves out of the bottom three (they need to make space for Arsenal).

Much of the Gorse Fox's day was spent with MySQL and Joomla (a content management system) trying to build a template with which he was happy. This is for the Silver Vixen initially, but may actually be extended to the family tree website if it seems appropriate.

Managed to talk with Cousteau-cub until the signal broke down. She has been involved in another clean-up on Phi Phi and they managed to clear a further 270kgs of rubbish (though GF is not clear how much was from underwater and how much from the island itself.

I built my employers website with Joomla, if you need a hand with anything let me know.

Thanks Matt
Because GF only gets the odd hour or two at a time progress is slow as he is learning about Joomla at the same time as trying to work out exactly what he wants it to do. This involves diving down a lot of rabbit holes and getting distracted.

GF may well contact you!

Anytine!

I found the forums and the extensions to be where the real power comes from. If you wish to see what I did with Joomla, take a look at:
