Elliott Rodgers

Welcome to the latest evolution of my personal website, although the design has a nod to my previous “journal theme”, this evolution is packed full of HTML5, CSS3 and jQuery goodies. It also uses some of the latest WordPress technology such as custom taxonomies, custom built accordion style vertical menu (some of the longer sub menus are now Tag Clouds on pages), jQuery lightbox for viewing images, There more lovely stuff being rolled out. This relaunch is still in beta mode as it where; I have tested everything but if I have missed something let me know via the contact form – thanks.

I’m Elliott; 39 year old web developer, internet entrepreneur, photographer and occasionally a poet. I live in South Buckinghamshire, Southern England with Sheppie, my six and a half year old Border Collie.

I’m a huge fan of WordPress, it was an awesome blogging platform and has now evolved into an amazing CMS (There have been over 9.6 million downloads (of version 3.3) and growing. WordPress also has thousands of free themes avaailable and thousands of plugins so that users can easily change stuff should they want to. I don’t only develop sites using WordPress, I can code in HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP, MySQL, I dabble in jQuery and I’m currently learning C++. My website is in a lot of ways one of my design playgrounds and as such sometimes it is in Beta Mode or similar.

I have always liked photography, I got more serious about my photography so I could gather my own images for use on websites. This was rather than paying sometimes crazy prices to use an image someone else had taken and so that I could make them just the way I wanted them. I’m a general all round photographer but most happy when I am photographing the natural world’ landscapes, snowscapes, animals, plants and so on.

I broke my leg in December 2010 and it’s permanently knackered. I’m still not giving up – physio, shoe inserts, half ski boot thing to wear at night and most important of all prayer for healing.
