To begin...

So, to begin with the first post of this blog.

Creating this template was the first real challenge of the start of what's to come. The aim of the design was to establish a visual design that clearly communicates but also does something beyond basic blog design. The first aspect to get over was Bloggers template language. It reminded me a lot of time speand working with the perl template toolkit www.template-toolkit.org/, which is a really powerful way of extending perl.

Second was to make sure that the typography worked and for this the initial solution was SIFR
www.mikeindustries.com/sifr. However, inital tests stangly enough with Apples Safari browser prooved a little problematic, so a bespoke answer in the form ov very basic Flash text replacements turned out to be the answer.

As always the design's likely to evolve.
