The Sheen Project

Welcome to yet another website dedicated to what someone is doing and how they did, or are doing it.

At the moment this particular website is a little different to a lot of the others. What it attempts to do is a bit like putting the cart before the horse. Right now, this website documents the construction of this website, and in order to do that on this webiste there must exist this website.

So in order to put the cart before the horse, this website started off as a single index.html file. For the purpose of publishing on the Web, that file was merely a record of the decision of what the website sould be and what tools would be used to create and develop it.

This website will eventually be about any arbitrary project, while its actual development is being treated as Project #1 (the project that provides the environment to talk about projects). It is still in the early stages of design. Styling has been left for the time being until the structure is defined. This is to minimise the rework of redundant and refactored style definitions until the website's structure stabilises.

Although still in the planning stage, this website intends to includes the following:

Projects: Records and documentation through a project's progress.
Blog: To talk about projects, ideas and the like.
Reviews: Such things as other helpful tutorials, blogs etc. that I've found useful.
Forum: For people to share their own ideas and experiences on related topics.
Login System: For guests (maybe memberships?) to submit posts to a forum etc.
GIT Repository: A centralised place for version control and sharing.
Bug Reports: For software projects and the website itself.

Please be aware that it will take time to make the proposed things availabe. This will be my first live website outside of coursework assignments and localhost playthings. It is hoped the shared experience may inspire someone else, who may be tossing up whether to publish with a Content Management System like Wordpress, to take a similar leap for themselves.
