Big Picture Triathlon Coaching

Today I’m pleased to announce the launch of bptri.co.uk. The project involved replacing a rather static ‘old school’ site for Big Picture Triathlon Coaching. Initial discussion took place and then a concept was agreed upon. The concept was then turned into a theme and the theme was...

Another Wordpress Update

It always seems to happen when I go on holiday! Wordpress 2.8.4 was released back on the 12th August and fixes another security bug that had been found.

Wordpress for Churches

As you may know I have made a few church sites in my time and have, recently, been rather partial to using the old Wordpress blogging platform as a very handy CMS for these church sites.  Both Firwood Church, Manchester and St John’s Church, Sheffield have been using Wordpress to power their sites for...
