Welcome to the first instalment of the Life and times of Marc Williams. These blog posts will be more personal and not the usual jokes, reviews and entertainment news that will continue to flow through the new standoutt. I’ll use this space to air some views and whatever little thoughts pop into my head. For now though I wanted to give everyone an update on the beta version of standoutt.
The last few weeks in the standoutt universe have been very busy. Once I get into a project I tend to go all out and things have progressed a lot faster than I had originally thought. In my excitement I have managed to get the blog up and running nicely and a preliminary version of the Srizzil page too. I have also moved the beta onto the main site now, rather than later, to make Google happy. They don’t treat your site too well if you keep moving your content around.
Unfortunately the move didn’t go very well. I backed up the wrong files and after upgrading a few things the site broke. It took me forever to fix the problem but praise God we are back up and running. This is the reason I hate computers – they aren’t people proof. If I make a mistake the computer should help me fix it, not make it harder to fix. What took five seconds to break turned into hours of fixing. These things only make a person more paranoid.
Looking to the future, the next few weeks will have a focus on content and bug fixing. Once I’m satisfied that everything is 100% with the blog, home page, and Srizzil page, I can start working on the movies page.
Stay tuned and enjoy. If you have any thoughts, ideas or complaints, feel free to contact us at www.standoutt.com/contact
This is it, the big show, the main event, the party to end all parties, our beta phase. This is going to be one of the largest upgrades I’ve ever made to any of my sites. For the first time ever, the design is 100% original, and I’ll be coding it all. *Ahhhh* As much as a hate working with this strange language, seeing your design come to life is one of the most rewarding things in the world. Unfortunately professional designers are way too expensive, and the chances of them doing exactly what I want are slim. So here we go. 
Is it just me or is the news getting boring. Because of the articles we create on Srizzil I try to keep up to date with what is going on around the world and in our home country, South Africa. But with all the amazing technology and millions of sites updated every couple of seconds the news seems to be getting really stale.
