Firstly I would like to welcome you to my new blog. “Oh yea another blog about technology” I hear you say. Hopefully this one will be different.

The motivation for this blog comes from the agile development principle of sharing knowledge.

Be a Mentor: By teaching others knowledge you have gained you can break down communication barriers and encourage the exchange of information, benefiting everyone. If I can help one person with a nugget of knowledge then I will be a happy man.

It’s not all selfless giving of knowledge. This site will keep me writing and thinking, preventing my brain from going on standby. Hopefully by thinking about what I want to write on this blog will give me inspiration for new ideas and projects.

Why is it called Ben 2.0

Because this is the second version of my blog and also a comical reference to the way that ‘web 2.0′ is an overused buzz word.

What is it going to be about?

Web development , design, programming, photography and general thoughts from my messy head.

Your blog is broken!

I decided that it would be better to get the blog live and then fix the minor problems later rather delaying the launch too much longer. If you find any bugs then contact me through the usual channels or the contact form.

I have a few issues that I am aware of, for example, it still needs to be tested in Safari and IE 6 (I don’t have access to these at home) and there is a little problem with the ajax comments form. Apart from that its just all minor changes to icons or typography and maybe a new Wordpress plug in or two.

Hope you enjoy!
