About

I never know what to write on these ‘About Me’ pages, I always seem to end up jabbering on a little too much.  Still here is my attempt at a little bit about me.

I suppose I should start with the basics.  I was born in the North West of England and grew up with my family.  I studied at University in Lancaster and then went on to teaching training.  I currently teach in a school in the Ribble Valley taking on the role of Subject Leader for IT in late 2006.

I have been teaching for a while now and thoroughly enjoy it (well most of the time anyway).  Over the last 5 years I have developed into a web developer mainly using the WordPress platform.  I first started building websites in late 2005 when I constructed a site for my department (back then I taught Geography).  This then developed and I needed eventually to move it to a content management system.

It was then that I came across Simon Jones’ blog at beforeiforget.co.uk.  I quickly learned that the site was powered using a piece of software called WordPress, and from then on I have never looked back.

I now build all my websites in WordPress and have developed an extensive knowledge of the software.  I have also gained recognition as a WordPress Consultant with the company that produce the WordPress software – Automattic.

Currently I am working as a freelance web designer under equalwebcreative.com so why not header on over there to find out more about what I can offer.
