Welcome to SHED 18
Why did we name our website “Shed 18″? The simple answer is “Why not”? it’s a weird name, but so is Google and Yahoo and they’re doing OK. Also it trips off the tongue easily and is great for adding sub-domains.
In the Uk, at least, a “shed” is the trade’s name for a sales outlet to the public on an industrial estate, so the name has some relevance as we sell good quality software from the site.
The main theme of Shed 18 is in building and maintaining websites, so you’ll get discussions and reports on subjects such as HTML, Javascript, CSS, Graphics, Audio, Video and all those other gimmicks that go to make up a modern website. But if you’re a newbie to website building, remember that all those flashing banners and winking lights don’t make up for a lack of good, solid content.
People are looking for information and solutions to their problems; so whether your website is run for family or club, a charity or for business the key is to make it useful, informative and above all interesting.
There’s information on website building all over the Internet so what makes Shed 18 different? We always try to put a new slant on things and still vividly remember building our first website (the hard way) and the thrill and pleasure in seeing it for the first time on a computer screen. So we try hard to explain those ultra-basic things that so many of the experts gloss over.
But time and the internet waits for no man and there are always new challenges. Starting this Wordpress Blog has been my latest and I can’t say it’s been as easy as I’d expected, mainly because of lack of time due to other commitments. WordPress is a great program and has a heap of facilities that take some time to get to grips with. There’s all the information and documented help you could ever need; you just need to be a speed reader!
