With the recent news that WebKit based browsers will soon be supporting the long awaited @font-face CSS rules, now is the time to refresh your memory on why this really is such a huge step forward for typography on the web. So how long before this becomes standard on all browsers and when can we start using it?

It looks like Qodo has been ripped off - yet again. This time it’s from a site called Jeezhi Studio. It’s more than obvious that it’s the Qodo design with some changes; namely the blue colour and some other additions. But the fact remains it is still my design. Read more »

So, it’s happened again. Qodo has been ripped off for the fourth time. It really is depressing that I spend so much time creating the design and template just for someone to steal and pass off as their own work. I don’t care if it’s for personal use - it’s still my work! Read more »

Vigoo steals my design
Updated: It looks like the site has been removed after some gentle emails to the owner asking for it to be removed.
It has come to my attention that my site design has been stolen and used somewhere without my permission by a “company” called Vigoo. It’s not the first time it’s happened and it’s pretty crap that someone would have so little respect for all the hard work and effort that goes into a site that they would just rip it off and change bits to suit them.

I recently moved the qodo.co.uk site over to a new host after my dedicated server hosting contract expired. I have moved from a PIII dedicated server by Miniserve (who were bought out by 2host) to a UK based VPS/VDS from 2host.co.uk. After having moved over all the content I have been using the VDS for a few weeks now and thought I would write a brief review. Read more »

Tonight, I spent over five hours trying to fill the shelves of the website with content - and I haven’t even made a dent! It looks like it’s going to take quite a few weeks to gather all the work, take screenshots and finally upload it all. Phew! I’m knackered! Read more »

After a good few months of hard work I have finally finished creating the new Qodo design. I have gone for a completely different colour scheme but the layout is still reminiscent of the previous version, Qodo1. Qodo1 has gone into retirement and I don’t think you’ll be seeing him around anymore… Read more »

For the past few weeks I have been designing a new theme for my site after creating a new logo. I wanted to make the design a lot more exciting and I wasn’t happy with the current design and have decided - it’s crap! So, out it goes and in the next few weeks I will finish the new design and put it online. So look out for the new design coming soon!
