Blog overhauled - battez.org is no more!

Saturday, July 5th, 2008

update: More on the XHTML technique popup  
I wanted to make a simple popup in my latest Cake app, and so needed to set a blank layout just from looking at the URL, as the page was essentially static that I was going to pop up.

this is my latest project - very much in alpha stage still, a record shop and vinyl junkie (secondhand collectors kind of people) community web site:

Not sure whether to go with the domain as it is now or another on vinyl-passion.com that I have. Thoughts?
