BrightonBloggers.com

(Information Services industry)

June 2003 — Present (6 years 2 months)

I've been looking after the BrightonBloggers.com site since I created it in 2003. It started life as a section in the Brighton Virtual Festival 2003 and I decided it deserved a life of its own and so created BrightonBloggers.com. It lists all known off blogs within the Brighton and Hove area. I maintain the web site, adding new blogs as required, and arrange meet ups etc.

Most of the code is written in PHP and uses mySQL.
