It’s been a long time coming →

Posted on January 16, 2012 in General with 2 comments.

It can safely be said, that for the first time in history I have a personal website that doesn’t have a section which displays a “coming soon” sign on it. This website has been through many iterations in the past and every time it has never been complete. I’ve been working extremely hard over the [...]

Back to blogging →

It’s been a long time since I last fired up the WordPress admin section of my blog, way too long in fact. Blogging is one of those things that if you don’t constantly remind and engage yourself in it, you eventually end up forgetting about it. A lot has gone down since my last blog [...]

Over the past few weeks I have been working on a new custom theme for my blog and I have finally finished the first version and activated it. It is still a little rough around the edges and as time goes by I know I will be tinkering with and changing it quite a lot, [...]

Welcome to my “new” blog →

Thanks for visiting. It’s been quite a while since I have blogged and I suppose, as they say, now is as good a time as any to get started again. I have decided to switch domains from my old iarematt.com back to mattgeri.com which I have owned for many years. The iarematt.com domain will still [...]

As I fully expected, my blogging journey so far this year has been full of new learning experiences. Mostly good experiences and some challenging ones. Something I wanted to touch on today is what having a “personal” blog means and why you should have one. I have done a lot of thinking about my blog [...]

Why I Don’t Like Blogrolls →

Posted on January 11, 2009 in General with 1 comment.

When setting up this blog I made the decision not to include a blogroll on the sidebar. I have had blogrolls on previous blogs of mine but I found that they always did more harm than good. Not SEO wise but relationship wise. It’s a weird thing but people take offense to you not linking [...]

Wohoo, I can cross off one of my new year resolutions! I have finally finished coding my new blog template and it is now live. It is a very simple template and nothing spectacular to look at, but that is exactly how I wanted it. I was getting sick of intense graphics on sites/templates and [...]

Finding good programming blogs →

While browsing through my RSS feed subscriptions on bloglines lately, I am finding that I am getting really bored by reading the usual tech blogs such as techcrunch, mashable, siliconalley et al. I think it’s actually an information overload. On any given day these sites post 10+ news articles and the majority of them I [...]

I have just finished converting this new template to a snazy new template for my most wonderful girlfriend – Megg Wilson. We decided that we would use the same layout and just modify small elements on it. You will notice a link to her page under the “My Pages” section on the sidebar. Check out [...]
