In a rush many, many months ago, I created a site called comicbooknews.co.uk which as you can tell by the URL, is dedicated to telling news about comic related things. Finally, after having a long Christmas I have redesigned the site to look like it should have done in the first place. Not only does this site make use of the Price Tapestry framework (why not? I figured I should let people know and buy from some great online stores and fulfill their geekiness), but it also makes full use of the admin/blog that I created to be ingregrated into the Price Tapestry framework.
I've taken it even further though, and once I've finished, these c… read the rest »

The first version of my Price Tapestry blog is now up and part of my portfolio.

After a bit more work I now have a fully working blog/article writing section that is fully integrated into Price Tapestry. A few minor improvements are still needed, as with most software changes, but at the moment there is a 100% working version that is simple to use.I've added some screen shots below of what it currently looks like from the Admin side of things. The front end can change depending on how you want it to look on your site, but the backend, although changeable through CSS, there's really no need to apart from the colour scheme to match your site.
I have a few future updates already in mind and I'm sure once those are done I will come up with another one or tw… read the rest »
