Projects
Below are details and links to projects that I am working on, or that I have been involved with.
In the works
Both of these sites are designed with search engine optimization and web standards in mind. The markup is clean, concise and semantic, relying totally on CSS to provide style to the design.
- A Hat Box of a Life
- WordPress Theme
- Status: beta testing
- This started out as a roll your own blog engine built with the Ruby on Rails framework. As the blog design progressed a lot quicker than the blog engine the initial idea changed to the development of a custom WordPress theme. The blog engine is now a separate project.

- Droylsden Sub Aqua Club

On the drawing board
- MadBlog
- Blog Engine
- Status: in my head
- The spin off project from the work I was carrying out for isobelmadden.com. It aims to be a light, easy to used publishing system (think more Habari than WordPress).
- JPaint
- Java paint application
- Status: A fledgling program
- A Java version of Microsoft's Paint application that comes with Windows.
