Now Is The Time To Begin The Work

As you can see in the picture above I have put my music video / entertainment site into a maintenance state. Now if anyone decides to pop over to www.entertainmentclam.com they will just be simply greeted by this little splash screen.

I have wanted to get around to upgrading that site for a long time and now that I have moved it from my old server to my new one I think that it would be an appropriate time to temporarily shut it down so that I can start to get a move on with the re-construction of the site. I want to first off upgrade the version of the software that was on the site. The version I was using was not the latest so I am taking this opportunity get around to sorting that out.

I also want to make a nice looking site that nobody else has, I know that this is a really huge task for me to undertake, but I want to put myself under some pressure, I want more pressure to learn more about web design, I have been lacking in web development over the past few weeks.

So now in my spare time, or basically whenever I am not at work, I will be devoting my time to the ‘EntertainmentClam’ website, I might decide to post a few status updates to this blog to let everyone know what I am getting up to. Also I will definitely be using its twitter account a lot over the next while and may be looking for some help on certain problems I might run into. So if you are on twitter, pop on over and follow the entertainmentclam! @entertainmentc .

The code that is running on the ‘EntertainmentClam’ is the most complex code that I have ever worked with, it usually takes me 10 times longer to get something done, I want to be able to get work on it faster so I am going to try and study how the main features work so I can navigate through the code at a fairly quick pace.

Another thing I want to get done is to try and make a nice new logo for the site, the one that was on it looked ok, but is just not what I am looking for, so that will be another challenge for me as I am not too good with graphic design!
