Welcome to my new blog-site!

About a year ago I said to myself... self, wouldn't it be great if the main page of my site went directly to my blog and all of the information contained within the website was now in the blog? Then I would have only have one site for visitors.

The problem was that I had this idea in the middle of wedding season whilst pregnant and I knew that it wouldn't be possible for me to implement until after the baby was born.

So earlier this year I started to draft a project plan (remember, I am an engineer by trade) and began submitting my ideas to developers. I received several quotes in return, but there always seemed to be an issue that had the potential of becoming problematic. For instance, most of them would not work within the framework of my current blog, which meant that I would have to provide a link to my "old blog" thereby negating the point of some of the features that I wanted to implement.

In the end, my wonderful husband, Craig, and I decided that we would code everything ourselves. It seemed like a daunting task, but we both have some coding in our background and are not easily intimidated.

We compiled our tools and were able to design and code everything ourselves. What a victory!! I will be posting in the next few days regarding some of the new features. Of course there are always issues, mostly dealing with that pesky Internet Explorer. Have I mentioned that I despise IE? Firefox is where it's at!

A special thanks to my tireless husband, he is not only really good looking, but brilliant!
