This is my first blog entry for my new site. The place is not totally finished, so apologies for that. It is really a project of mine which is going to take shape over time. Blog entries like this will probably be few and far between for a while. This is just because I am concentrating on making sure that all my work is showcased on here properly first. Once that is done I will start writing on here regulary.

The sort of thing you can expect to see in the blog entries once they get going are all the normal things you would expect to find in a video game enthusiast, programmers blog. Personally I want to focus on bloging about cool programming  techniques I learn that I think would be useful to other people who are searching the web and are willing to learn. However, I will be also bloging about interesting things I see and get up to in life.

The showcasing of my work is going to fall into three main categories really. These are Journalism, Web Design, and Game Design:

Journalism

Over the years I have got more and more active in the online Sonic and SEGA communities and more recently I have started writing for a news site in this community called TSSZ|news, as well as making short appearances on other gaming sites and blogs. So in the Journalism section of my portfolio expect to find all the big stories, reviews, and interviews which I have completed in my short journalism career.

Web Design

Since working with HTML in a small piece of coursework in my GCSE’s I have been doing web design as a hobby. I made small sites here and there, helped out friends who needed, and generally did it because I enjoyed it. This culminated in a part-time job in webdesign, in 2006. Since then I have continued web design as a hobby. In addition to this I completed a module in E-Commerce and Web Design as part of my degree. So in the Web Design section you will find all my past experiences in this field.

Game Design

In 2005 I started a degree at City University in London. My degree was in Computer Science and Games Technology. So over the last 4 years I have gradually built a small portfolio in this field. In the Game Design section you will find all my work in this area.

The site theme is not created by myself. It is an existing open source theme for WordPress called ‘Arras Theme‘. Over time I am going to modify this theme to better suit my personality and the content which is to be uploaded to this blog.

That’s all there is to say at the moment really. I have set up an email subscription service on this site. This way if you are interested in staying up to date with what I am doing you can! When I actually do create content, you will receive an email at the end of the day telling you so. Easy!

Hope you enjoy your time on my site and enjoy viewing my work.
