Most of us are web designers and now meeting through computerforum.com. I am starting this thread to let all of us know, How capable webmasters we have in our community and what is in trend nowadays i.e. a blog or a website.

So dear friends, you will need to answer a few questions:-

- What do you own, Blog or website?
- Address of your website/blog
- Why did you chose blog over website or vice-versa?

So Guyz, Just showcase your website here and lets see whose is best. We can again have a survey on chosen ones to select the best.
 
Uh.....

Mine is a glorified blog / personal online resume?

Not sure what you want to call it. I do a bit of blogging but I mostly publish tech documents on it.

I use a CMS and am not a very versed web developer. I am still learning. I know all the server side stuff like MySQL, PHP, and Apache and what not, but I don't know the front end design stuff.
 
@tlarkin

Nice website...

I hope u wont mind a lil feedback
Dont u think the homepage cud hav more interactive... I mean you could give links to ur posts on the homepage...

thanks for being the first
 
It is a work in progress, I am trying to build content for the site now. I want to revamp the home page, but at the same time I want it kept very simple and not convoluted. I am going to use it as a testament of what I can do work wise and I want any and all future employers to clearly and easily see my skill set.
 
just curious who you guys use for hosting? I'm building a site for my wife right now and i have never had to have my own host most clients already had sites or bought their own hosts any suggestions that are decent priced i can tie my dreamweaver into?
 
I'm only hostgator. Excellent to use IMO. 99.99% uptime (they say 100, but my stats show around that mark). Affordable.
 
@Jonyboy

Thanks a lot

Nice content, let me know if you put some articles on computer or internet technology, I'll give you trackbacks.

Lets wait for some more nominations here.

c ya...
 
I don't use templates either, that is my own CSS which is why my site looks like crap as I am still teaching myself how to build sites. I got the back end server side stuff down no problem, but the whole design and digital art factor I am still learning.
 
@tlarkin

I agree. The day I got to know about wordpress, plugins and themes, I quit learning. I believe I could have learnt more if the concept of theme and templates wouldnt existed.

@Calibretto

Nice blog buddy, but I guess its only about gaming

All the nominations are from blog.
I guess website is out....

what do u say guyz...

www.whitehouse.gov now uses Drupal on it's back end. Proving that it is powerful enough to host a site at that caliber, and also the new whitehouse site actually looks rather damn slick.

I used the zen theme on my drupal site which is a very generic, vanilla, theme. In fact the motto is to add zen and just add CSS and you got yourself a site.

So, I am in fact using a theme, but I am using the plain theme called zen, which then allows me to modify my CSS and design it anyway I want to. Of course if you are awesome at design you can just use the drupal framework under the hood and design the CSS and HTML from complete scratch.
 
I have a site which is not blog or website; it's a forum. Powered by
vBulletin.

Currently, I'm developing three websites for others. I'm going to use
WordPress as the back-end, but I'm going to create custom styles.
Although WordPress is blogging software, the blog won't be the
central part of the website. These are mainly profile type websites,
so I have to focus the content on the person/company.

I don't know how to customize Drupal or Joomla templates. It looks
really complicated. So I just use WordPress.


Bio:

I've been making websites since '96. I know html, php, mysql, css
really well. My main focus nowadays is layout and usability.
Amateurs just can't get it right when it comes to simplicity.

It's sort-of funny seeing a back-end developer also working on the
front-end design. If back-end developers made all the websites,
we would be using Dos-style prompts for everything. Graphical
user interface (GUI) design is an art-form.
