Obligatory Hello World Post

An introduction to my new site, a quick overview of what it’s all about and a sample of the exciting things to come.

Welcome to the new thomasjbradley.ca! It’s pretty frakin’ amazing, eh? Well it should be, it took me a good two years of re-designing and re-coding to build—but more on that soon.

This is just one of those quick posts that every new blog must have, so I can tell you what this web site is about—though I’m pretty sure you already know.

Here’s the official description:

Thomas J Bradley makes web sites that are elegant, simple & absolutely super-duper!

Whoa, this site’s about me!

Now something a little more interesting. What the blog is about, represented by another official description:

Articles, essays and tips & tricks on topics including web development, web education and Canadiana.

Under Construction

The site is, unfortunately, not complete. Though after two years you’d think it would be! I had wanted to launch with three blog posts, but was so excited to launch my site I thought I would write them over the next three days.

There are a few other things I would like to do, but this site will be more of an ongoing project instead of a make-it-and-leave-it type deal like version one-point-zero.

Since everything is official today, here is the official list of incomplete things (which will get done in the next few days), copied directly from the text file on my desktop.

  • Blog posts Completed August 19, 2009
  • Comment security things
  • AIRA Completed July 6, 2009
  • XFN Completed July 6, 2009
  • iPhone styles?
  • Handheld styles
  • Print styles
  • Wordpress template portfolio samples Completed January 8, 2010
  • Error pages
  • Lab (it’s completely empty right now) Completed December 2, 2009
  • Lab project pages Completed August 27, 2009

Oh, and a bazillion other details.

Anyways, I think that’s all. Let me know what you think of the site! Hopefully you love it as much as I do.
