Hi everybody!

As I continue working on learning WordPress I also wanted to point to some of my previous web development work.

This year I designed and developed a web site from scratch: http://www.munsondev.com/trav/. I designed this site mainly to test and sharpen my skills but I also wanted to use it to support a table-top RPG called Traveller (yes it has two L’s). Traveller is a far-future science fiction role playing game that has a long history. I first played this game when I was living in Houston, TX during high-school (no, I won’t say what year that was). If you want to learn more about Traveller please visit my site, there are links to the Traveller wiki and other informative sites.

When I say I developed the site from scratch what I mean is that I didn’t use any Content Management Systems like WordPress or other site building software. I wrote the code myself. I used HTML, CSS, PHP and MySQL to build the site. I am still working on more content for the site and hope to add the new pages in the next month or so.

Development takes time; imagining and designing the concepts, gathering images and information, writing and testing the code, re-writing and retesting, etc. I have no professional experience with these skills, I did learn some of the basics in college but most of what you will see on my Traveller site is self-taught.

One of the most important things I have learned over the years is that I can learn.
