Here I publish my thoughts on utilizing the web and administrating web sites. Most of my focus is on how to get started and small sites. From time to time I may also provide code in the form of plugins and snippets. As my personal site, I may take the opportunity to rant, vent and express my personal opinion on any topic as well.
This is my labratory that I get to play in when I have time. I also get to talk out loud without strange looks because no one is watching.

Things will remain quiet here on the feddy.ca front for the foreseeable future. I am occupied with other things for a while and it will take some time for them to be straightened out. The site is not being abandoned, nor will I stop monitoring activity here. Maintenance will continue in order to stay ahead of the attackers and spammers.
When I come back it will probably be with a new design and format. Until then, my off-line focus will be on developing my desired direction for the site.

A great idea for a book, the Website Owner’s Manual: The Secret to Successful Websites, is a guide for website owners’ whose background is not in design or development, allowing them to get the most from their website. I have not read the book, but I believe there is an untapped market for this book. From the review, table of contents and synopsis I believe even individuals responsible for a small business or personal website will get a lot out of this book. A crash course in planning, launching and managing a website will help many people achieve the success they expect on their first attempt.
