Welcome to JoolDesigns.net, the personal playground of Jool

Hey, if you are at all a regular visitor to the site then you might have noticed some downtime earlier this week. That's because I was switching hosts, from Dreamhost to Mediatemple. So far Mediatemple has been outstanding and well worth it. If anything is still not working correctly, it's in the todo list so don't worry.

Lately I have been working on a side project, a blog of sorts. The JoolDesigns weblog is what I've been playing around with. The wordpress blogging platform is really simple to use and I love it really. So go check it out, I added a link at the top for easy access.

That brings me to my final point, the X Upload, my former image uploader, has been removed. There was a bit of abuse going on and it is a general pain to have to deal with. I suggest Imageshack for anyone who is greatly affected by this change.

Hey! If there's anyone out there reading this, I am in fact still alive, believe it or not. Anyway, I was thinking that if we had some forums here that maybe the place might start to feel a bit more cozy.

So, as a result of some research and a bit of coding I have created the official JoolDesigns.net Forum! Have a look around, hopefully with time there will be some sort of activity in there. I added a link to the forum in the main navigation bar up there so you will be able to access it from each page on the site.

As a side note, I will be adding some random changes here and there to the site in the next few days.

Yea, there was no update again this Saturday. Seems I am too busy with everything else except the site, I can barely find time to work on updates and goodies, and even when I have that time, it is hard to get anything done. There was an awesome run of updates I had there, but it will have to end unfortunately. I hope this isn't the end of the updates, there should be the odd one here and there but no where near the rate they were at before. Maybe in the summer I'll have more time to start up consistent updates again. Of course the site will continue to be fully functional in it's present state, so enjoy everything I have to offer at the moment and then maybe down the road there will be some new additions.

You might have noticed, no updates this week. The main reason? Elvis had left the building for the weekend and thus nothing really got done. Look for updates next weekend though.

There are a few new updates today, one php tutorial and one small html tutorial. I really don't have much else to say right now, other then to tell you to go check those out.

This week is kind of special, mark it down as 2.5 updates. There are two new php tutorials, each detailing methods about how to use php navigation. I also added an article I wrote about different menu types and the pros and cons of each and generally all about how to set up your page's menus the right way. So go check those out.

Hey sup, I've added some updates today. First of all, a new tutorial about the last modified date and how it is easy to retrieve and display automatically using php. Never update this manually on your pages again! The second half of today's update is an html tutorial about using mailto: and some perks you probably didn't know about and some you do. So go check those out, and remember, if you want something specific in an update, don't hesitate to let me know, I'm always open to suggestions for new updates.

These updates are still really good, even if they are a touch late. The new article I have added talks about a lesser known website that allows you to validate your tableless design has been added. Also, a new php tutorial has popped up which will teach you how to design a layout system in php with the use of a back end file. So go check those out!
