Developers who no longer code refer to themselves as going “post-technical”. I’m never sure if this is a badge of honour or not. For someone who is pretty non-technical, I am delighted to announce that I’ve gone “pre-technical”. I’ve got an apache web server running on my local machine with a mySQL server all courtesy of the delightfully simple Apache Friends XAMPP. In only a few minutes I had it up and running (and after an internet basics 101 with Dan North) and a couple of clicks I’d installed Wordpress on my laptop. I can now play around with different designs and start making this website exhibit the sort of production values that I strive for with clients.

Congrats on the status change. Just having the word “technical” in there is bound to buy you some street cred.
If you find an easy way to work with designs in WordPress, I’m sure there are many who would like to know. I just redesigned my blog’s template and had a heck of a time trying to get WordPress to play nice. It all worked out in the end though, with a healthy dose of patience…
