This site is hosted on Go-Daddy and uses Joomla 1.5. I modified the rhuk_milkyway theme, substituting the Joomla logo with my own, making changes in 3 files to accomplish it - the xml, template.css and index.php (several lines of code were explicitly accessing the rhuk folder rather than my own copy). When I modify a template, or in any other case, I copy-and-modify. So I copied the content of templates/rhuk_milkyway into my own folder, modify that, and creating my own theme.

I just started, so I created a published a minimalist set of pages, using as few modules as possible. My portfolio page is just a pure html table. My contact information is just an email address on the intro page. Then I created a blog section and am trying to get Idoblog to work properly.
Â
What's next?
Â
Twitter tools, possibly a LinkedIn connection. Some eye-candy bookmarking icon tools. RSS/pinging for my blog. A nice gallery to create an alternate page for my portfolio. Oh, and a contact/inquiry form. I've already installed 2, but have yet to get them to function properly.
Â
I will also create forwarding emails so you could contact me at an ajaxofalltrades email address. I will also establish some type of opt-in and newsletter featuring snippets from my blogs.
