Quick Web Development Tip

If you are running a two-monitor setup and are building a website, you most likely are coding on one screen and previewing in another. Here’s a quick tip to save a bit of time refreshing the page every time you make an update: put this bit of old-school nasty HTML in the head of youor template page:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="3">

This will refresh your page every 3 seconds, saving you having to flick over and refresh. Don’t forget to take it out when you are done!

X Communications website is now live

Large X shape made up from various orange rosettes

I’m a few days late posting this, but the X Communications website is now live on the interweb. I’m very happy with how the design turned out, and I think the code is pretty too - I tried to make it as semantic as possible, and keep the div count reasonably low. X Communications is where I work full-time, so should anyone want to employ me for my “mad design skillz” as the leet-speakers would have it, then that’s where you’ll find me.

On a side note, this site is very much a personal blog, rather than a work thing, but I’m really pleased with the way the site turned out (though I’m very self-critical), so that’s why I’m posting it here. If you have any questions about how things were done, send me an email or leave a comment
