Massive Theme Update

Have just changed the main theme of the site. Let me know what you think and please report any bugs. Thanks.

I’m Back!

Nope, you’re not dreaming, I really have updated my site!

I’m back! After taking a rather long break from posting, I have decided to return. Hopefully I will get back into a routine and there will be some good quality posts in the next few days/weeks.

In the meantime, you can check out the official twitter page here. I hope you’re looking forward to some new posts. See you soon.

Week 1 Round-Up

As you probably know, this blog recently had a complete re-design, and I have been on this new design for a week now. So… I thought I’d give you a little summary of how it has been going and how the blog will change as a whole.

As for the system itself, I am very pleased with the outcome. WordPress has exceeded my expectations and I will definitely be continuing to use it. In fact, I’m so pleased, I would love it if you tried it too!

I would like to say a personal thanks to both Christopher and Harry for being the first people to comment on my blog. I hope other people will get more involved, as this weekly round-up will also be for answering your questions and comments.

Thanks for sticking with MattyBatty.co.uk! Why not take a minute to rate my site so far…

Notepad++ Review

A handy text editor for all your programming and web developing needs. I have been using Notepad++ for a few months now, and I have really enjoyed using it. The layout is simple and easy to use, the colours are plain and not hard on the eyes, and it has syntax highlighting for hundreds of different languges including PHP, HTML, C++, Javascript, Java and ASP.

Probably the most useful feature of  Notepad++ is the tabbed editing window. This makes it really easy to switch between files and it makes error checking much more simple. Not to mention the taskbar space saved on Windows. In addition to this, there is a find & replace option which can be used to replace a certain phrase in ALL of the currently open documents. This saves loads of time and typing. Read the rest of this entry »
