Launched new profile site – My Name is Daniel

Posted: 7th January 2013 at 4:54 pm

Just a very quick post to let you know about my newly launched profile site: My Name is Daniel.

I originally purchased the domain danielhollands.co.uk back in November 2011 when I was working for Propeller. I’d heard on the news that someone famous had their name’s domain name cyber squatted, and had failed, legally, to take it back for themselves. (Whoever it was can’t have been that famous, however, as I don’t remember who they were.)

Although I highly doubted that anyone would want to cyber squat my name (other than, say, someone else named Daniel Hollands), for a fiver each year, I might as well get it just in case.

Although this isn’t the first time I’ve hosted something on that domain (for the past year or so it’s had a copy of my CV which used a third party template), but this is an important launch for me for two reason, first; the site’s code is all my own work, and second; all the aforementioned code is available for all to see on Bitbucket. (I did consider moving it to my GitHub account, but Bitbucket has served me well, so I figured, credit where credit is due.)

Anyway, I open to feedback, so please feel free to let me know what you think in the comments below :)
