// A new beginning
July 7th, 2008 ~ Filed under: BloggingHopefully my blog will look better with more than one post. So, I’d better get the ball rolling.
This isn’t the first time I have started a blog. This time (that would make it the third) I am determined to make it work with the help of what I think is a pretty cool design, typography, and some interesting content along the way.
I cannot say exactly what I will blog about, but I imagine there will be a number of posts about web development (in particular PHP), technology, and life. Things I find interesting.
I love it when people comment on my blog. I am sure to read all of them and respond to most. So, readers, don’t hold out on me - leave your comments, good or bad.
Now I’m off to decide what to post about first.

Hey Kalon, good to see the blog is finally up, i was starting to hate that index (”,) I never forgot the help you gave me with my gallery’s. Your right, the theme is great and fonts tc are nice and simple, plus i love the gravatars. Get some asides added in there, and get posting my friend, looking forward to seeing what your going to offer. All the best! P.S added to RSS

p.s have you added your blog to stumble, reddit etc? Do you have some cache enabled + stats?
July 11th, 2008 at 8:53 pm
No I haven’t done that yet. Thanks for the reminder - I will be sure to do so.
For the moment I don’t want to use any of the cache plugins. They cache my custom php scripts that query random things from the database on each page load, thus making them useless.
When load starts becoming an issue I will find a work-around, but, for now there isn’t that much need.
For statistics, I use AWStats, an application that uses PERL to analyse server log files to generate graphs etc. Its brilliant.

Is this actually a custom theme kalon?
July 12th, 2008 at 9:43 am
Yes - if your wondering about the header image, its from this website where you can get royalty free images.

Yeah its a kool theme, very clean and attractive. The new stuff you added though in the footer has caused your blog to be XHTML invalid, otherwise it would be clean

Me thinks you need akismet on your blog, some spammy has slipped through
