What Have I done?

I have created this website from scratch using PHP, XHTML, CSS and a little Javascript.

Some people have asked me, "why didn't you use WordPress? Or Blogspot? Or any other blog?"

Well here is my long convoluted answer:

When I was 13 yrs old, I was in my first band. Being our first band, we were all pretty poor musicians. We started out playing Oasis covers.

Of course, after many weeks practicing, our rendition of 'Live Forever' was still a bit rubbish. But when it came to our first gig, why didn't we just put on the Oasis CD? It would have sounded far better than us playing it (trust me).

Ignoring the obvious performance aspect of why we decided to play it live, we also did it to learn.

And that is exactly why I am spending all this time programming the features on this site.

Its gonna be a while before it has all the features of other blogs but its satisfying creating things from scratch and watching it grow.

I will be interested in seeing what cool programming tricks you come up with for this site.

Sounds like a perfectly valid reason for me; except for the Oasis part ;)
