So, as I like redesigning this website, I’ve done it again!
I have just moved the website to a brand new host which should be, well, frankly cheaper, but it also allows me to run an installation of WordPress from the open-source WordPress.org – so providing a whole range of new possibilites in terms of new things that can be added and opened up.
Anyway, so there is a fresh new look, not that much different from the old one, but I like it.
So, after finding so many people have blogs, there’s a new section on the homepage now. Its only little, but its kind of like something I’ve tried before only smaller and better. 
It may get even more better after the redesign, starting middle of next week.
New, just a little play…
Its a bit dodgy, but I think it could be good. The photos are taken from my flickr – click on the Elsewhere tab at the top to get to it!
There’s been a tiny little change in these parts. If you glance up to the header of this website, it used to read slightly differently! I have removed the ‘Design’ link and added a new ‘Home’ link…
The Design area will have a revamp in the summer, but until then its off the site. And removing that leaves plenty of space for a ‘Home’ link which should navigation. Also, played with the page ordering features in WordPress to achieve this.
Enjoy
I was recently looking at the increasing availability of various online form submission systems. Here’s one I came across recently which certainly has a more professional and corporate appearance about it (not least as its a mainly paid service)
But there are new alternatives, such as Forms now available as an easy to integrate part of Google Docs. There’s lots more out there, but these are just a few. Of course, you cannot forget simply using the features that come with WordPress.
For the second part of this easter special set, and on Easter Sunday, here is my special easter egg…
Sadly, its not all of my own creation this time!
Happened to stumble across this site today, and its actually quite a good read. Although I am actually past the stage this particular post really talks about, its really well written, clear, simple and straight-forward advice.
Although, the focus is really on blogging, with WordPress the line between blogs and websites is pretty much non-existent (you’re on an example of that right now) so much of what works for one is for the other. Sadly, at the moment, this is only hosted on WordPress.com, but perhaps sometime in the future I will move to a proper WordPress install, plug-ins and all!
Anyway, here’s the link
So, continuing with the special event logos, today I have a new Easter Chick for you!
I hope you like it, its a little hand-drawn one that I created from an image I saw online. Its pretty nice I think
Anyway, its here ’til Sunday when there will be a new logo and Easter Part 2….
There’s a little change for today, the Rob Parker logo that appears at the top of every page of this website has been replaced by a special Mother’s Day image. I’ve credited the very useful source image I used from Flickr below.
I hope you like it, how well do you think it works?
Over time, I hope to develop a few of these for special occasions, so look out for them!

Taken at work today – brightening up the room (and making my eyes water with its perfume). I find daffodils tricky to photograph close up; they give me all sorts of DofF problems!
Handheld, natural light.

RobParker.org.uk has finally arrived! This is the new home for pretty much everything, and from here there are links to loads of other things online, RSS feeds and also a (under development!) Design section.
I’m so pleased to finally have this set-up, so please enjoy it!
