Welcome to GuitarToyBox. I hope you enjoy your stay. If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed, maybe check out the gear reviews or even go shopping. Feel free to comment on anything you see on this site!

I just installed a new plugin for the site. It's the WP-Flickr plugin available at this site http://www.dvhome.co.uk/88/wp-flickrtag/ and it works a treat. I modified it slightly (just changed a few parameters in a function call) to suit my needs a bit more, but nothing major. So now I can call random Flickr images in a post wherever I want just like this:

guitar

or this

breast

Pretty cool.

Now speaking of web stuff, the latest site I have been working on is almost finished. The design is done, and now just needs to be converted to a template. Take a look :

Millar Design

It's a simple clean layout that was based off the company's business card. i would have liked to be more flashy but I was restrained as to what I could do by the client. I know exactly where the slices will be, however I have made it slightly difficult. I have built the site using Joomla as the backend, and now I have to make my first Joomla template.

Joomla is great, and will be the basis of all my sites from here on in. It is simply amazing and I don't know why I haven't used it for the basis of my CMS sites before now. In fact I'll be transferring the XRISmedia site over to Joomla when I get some time.

Well right now I need a coffee, and a clear head to tackle this Joomla stuff. Lets see how it goes.
