Well as the title states, I’ve lost quite a lot of this sites content. My site is powered by WordPress and for some reason one night last week there was a database error, OK no problem I thought, I’ll just reload the latest backup I have. It turns out the latest backup I have is from over 2 months ago, and roughly 6 weeks ago I made a lot of structural changes to the pages (but didn’t create a backup immediately, that’ll teach me!), including the free templates page, which is quite popular and where most of this sites 15,000+ unique visitors per month end up going. I’d had them (the free templates) organised into their own seperate pages instead of “blog” posts announcing them but thats all lost now until I get round to rewriting all of the content for them, oh well, it happens I guess.
For now though, if you want any of my free templates then I suggest you head on over to Open Designs and find your way to my user profile page. Not all of the free templates are listed on Open Designs yet, thats my fault for not uploading them all, so if you want any of the ones not listed then you can find them in the download directory on this site.
Anyway, sorry again if you’re trying to access any links from portfolio or free templates pages, I’ll do my best to get this sorted as soon as possible!
On a side note I’m always testing out Google Adsense on this site, something which I have not really used before on my personal site, but we’ll see how it goes. Any extra money to cover the hosting costs / hours of my personal time spent creating my free website templates can’t be a bad thing. So they’ll be showing up on various pages over the next couple of weeks and I’ll have a test run of about 2 months before deciding on whether to keep them up or not. Comments about them / ideas where to put them which aren’t too obtrusive are also more than welcome!
Hello there I'm Christopher, a 20 year old self taught freelance website designer / developer from Cheshire, England who specialises in creating XHTML and CSS compliant websites along with any needed graphics. You can check out my personal portfolio of previous work (although it really needs updating!) or view and download free website templates which I have created.
Interested in working on a future project with me? Then feel free to contact me to get a feel for what I love. On this site you can also find my blog, and if your that way inclined, then you can find all of the older entries in the archives if you would like to view them.
Open Designs is now over one year old, and we have 900 free designs. This is hardly a fledgling community anymore. We have over 3600 registered users, about 100 of whom check in to the forum on a regular basis. The forum is more active than ever, with so many people around to contribute. We have had a great first year, and with a team effort, our second year will be even better! view post
