Well, January has been & gone and let’s face it, I’m just two posts in and I’m already slacking on the blog front. Rest assured, I have an excuse. I’ve been incredibly busy. Honest.

By the end of the month of January, there will have been 5 televised Manchester United matches, one of which was against the old enemy from the other end of the Manchester Ship Canal, Liverpool. (more…)

This is my Hello World post, traditionally the first post for any WordPress blog.

First, a bit of background information. I’ve been a front-end developer since the day I left University, over 6 years ago. I’ve been working with WordPress almost 5 years. I’ve had my own site/blog since… well, today.

I’m going to jump straight into this blogging malarkey and set some goals for both this site and for 2013 as a whole. (more…)
