I’ve spent the last 10 weeks building a site for a client. Well, a web app. It’s called One Minute Business Checkup and it’s 100% my work… programming, DB schema, graphics, Javascript, the lot. I don’t like doing one-man builds like this, as a rule, but this was fun. Check it out. And if you’ve [...]
13 December 2009 – 4:03 pm If you’re using WordPress as a CMS, you may have set up static pages for both a front page (e.g. “Home”) and a page to list your latest blog posts (e.g. “Blog”).
