happy new year!
December 31, 2008
well its almost that time of year again and like any self respecting human being i won’t be online when the time comes to actually say it so here it is a little early!
i’m hoping 2009 will be a good year for myself in regards to web dev, and it should also see markdoesdesign moving from being a simple blog hosted on the wordpress servers to its own fully fledged site.
my targets for this year in relation to markdoesdesign are as follows:
design it! (always important 
)
develop a custom built cms to manage the content of the site
keep blogging and attempt to infiltrate the dev community a bit more
nothing spectacular but thats what i’ll be up to in the first few months of the year when i’m not hard at work at bluebit.
happy new year!
who am i? where am i? who’s the president?

this is my “hello world” into the world of blogging and i feel that the most appropriate thing for me to do here would be to begin with who i am and what this is all about.
my name is mark jones, I’m 22 years old and I’m a web developer/designer working for a company called Bluebit Web Design. I primarily do front end coding, which can also be explained as hand coded valid html and css. i’m also exploring the world of php/mysql and jquery as i delve deeper into the world of development.
so mark does code then?
whilst i’m primarily a coder in my job, design is what makes me tick and i’ve been lucky enough to strike a balance in both realms of the web dev world. design is what brought me to this career and its something i continue to relish the opportunity to be involved in. i’m influenced by a wide range of digital and traditional art and i like to think the world surrounding me has a part to play in the work that i produce.
so whats this all about?
basically this blog is going to be a round up of my thoughts and opinions on a wide variety of topics in relation to the internet, technology and life. if you read something you don’t like, let me know, if you read something you do like, let me know, if its too long and you didn’t bother, save it for 4chan.
peace.
