This is the News...

On this page there is news. News from Ghost Horses, news from Stephen Fairbanks and if both are not worthy of news-ness, then news from elsewhere.

This website has a shiny new Contact Form - be a doll and try it out, won't ya?

Hello there. Ghosthorses.co.uk has bolted and jumped the fence and changed its web-hosting and now it uses the PHP / MySQL. Contact me and let me know if anything around here doesn't work. :/

I'm afraid there may not be many examples of new websites worked on by myself for a while as the Design company I currently work for do not allow their employees to include work owned by themselves on their personal portfolios.

Hey, how about those Bears, eh? Or the weather? What's that? You don't care? Then how about you just move those little beady eyes and take a look at a little website I did for Warbutons. The bread people. Also, I just remembered that a few months ago I made a nice little Flash quiz for a museum. The quiz was about BOATS. Check that watery shiz out here.

There's a special treat for you today. A special treat indeed. Actually, it's not that special at all... it's more websites! There was already quite a lot on here, but now there's even more! Check them out in the Gallery.

Well hello there. It's been a while. You've missed me.

For those who keep a close vigil over my burgeoning career as an underwear model, and occasionally as a web designer, you may be interested to know I no longer work for Auto Trader Digital... I now work for Wilson.Cooke. This may mean a change in the content on this site. But I think you'll be able to live with that.

Today I have been making a simple Journal / Contact Management System using PHP and MySQL. Although the journal was made only for experimentation, you can have a look at it IF YOU REALLY WANT TO by clicking here.

I have been making a website for a lovely little French holiday home (that's Bernisson, France - y'all), and I'm currently patting myself on the back slightly as- although currently the website is pretty bare, today i've created my first PHP contact form that not only validates the form and sends all the info across nice and tidy, if you fill in a field incorrectly, it even remembers what you placed in the correct fields so you don't have to type it all out again. Nice eh? I was pleased with it anyway. Check out the website here.

Hey, I've just come back from a trip to Paris & Hamburg. If you would like to see the photographs I took during this time, then you'll have to be my friend. If you're not my friend, you'll just have to use your imagination. In other news, new links have been added to the bottom of each page on the website to appease the W3C overlords. Please click on the following links to check the validation of this website's XHTML and the CSS. And be quick about it.

21/01/2008
More designs in the Gallery section? Yes please.
08/01/2008
This is just a short one, the man said. Erm, yes... there are a couple more websites included in the Gallery section. There should be more up soon, but i've been busy trying to learn new stuff. Education is foon.

Firstly, I haven't figured out how to get rid of that annoying little error in IE 6 where the 'Recent Examples' has some extra padding. Grr. So sorry about that. But in other non-website-design-related news, I've made a list of my favourite songs from 2007 that fit onto a simple household 80min Audio CD. If you're interested in what I've chosen AND I'M SURE YOU ARE then please click the following link to visit the Facebook group. Following Link. You can join the Facebook group by clicking HERE.

If you point the black bits of your eyes towards the left side of the screen, and then hover the mouse of the 'Recent Examples' section, you MAY find that little thumbnails appear, helpfully displaying a preview of the example. I say MAY because there's still some slight bugs between browsers that I'm hoping i'll figure out soon.

After lots of hairpulling and crying... the Contact Form now works after the site moved server and caused stupid 'bloomin problems.
09/12/2007
The Gallery page is now starting to look more like a Gallery page, which is quite fitting. Hopefully more example websites will be added shortly.
05/12/2007
There is now a lovely little contact form on... (yes, you've guessed it) the Contact page. Why not be a pal and drop me a line, meaning, fill out the form and send it to me. Thank you.

Today I am lost between the notes as my Radiohead 'In Rainbows' boxset thing has arrived. The outtakes / extra tracks seem quite interesting.
30/11/2007
The About The Designer page now has information about yours ever-so truly, Stephen Fairbanks. If you go there you will see that the little picture of my face MOVES! As if it were alive, like you or I.
27/11/2007
If you look very closely, you will see that every horse on this website is shaped like a real horse, only smaller. Also, the home page flash animation now has a little animation intro, welcoming you in to the website, like you've been outside in the cold for a long time or something.

The first edition to the News Stuffs section goes right here, as I type, RIGHT NOW.
