On a sunday! Are you mad?

After going through the php tutorials handed out to our class the other day, it was important that i learn't how to get information from a database, display it on screen, then input data and send it back. After some help from my brother i have just finished a successful transition of information! What this means is the potental blog i will be making finally has its backbone structor. Which is excellent because i can get on with making it look pretty. At the moment its a complete and utter mess.

Also the other night, i got loads of research in for the same project. I searched loads of other artist showcases which is the competition of my blog idea and the results were very interesting as most of hideous and very unprofessional. The few that are really inspiring though are of course http://shop.deviantart.com/ and http://www.conceptart.org/ but also the unregulated http://www.4chan.org/. Enter 4chan at your own risk as there is some nasty stuff there! Searching different types of blog layouts too was interesting.

Will hopefully get time to sketch out templates and reasons why due to this and this and so fourth i have done this. But ultimately even though i'm not out of the deep end yet, the light is shiny through, now that a good chunk of research is done and the php connections are finished.

I'm sure my enthusiasm wont hold up for long.
