Wordpress as a CMS and the plugins to help

Finally done!

Well its taken a little bit longer than expected, but I finally managed to put a few hours into the blog this weekend have have the first working version of my theme uploaded and running on the site. No doubt there will be a few rough edges that will come to light in the next few days or so

Just so you know, I’ll be constantly adding to the site from now on and will try and get back to posting a decent amount of stuff.

Right… I need some sleep!
