My new website
-
Awesome site!
-
Great idea Gabi, and I like the look-n-feel of the site. Scott started posting tech stuff on SGL for similar reasons, and I always find it funny when he's looking something up years later and Google returns him his own blog post, lol.
-
Looks great. Thanks for sharing I am sure a few of my team members will love this!
-
Very clean design. Me gusta.
-
Very clean and easy to navigate. Everything websites that are useful should be.
-
I approve of this site. You get 4 Bill Kindles out of 5.
-
I dig it. Do you write content?

Not at this moment. Hoping to do so.
My writing style isn't a conventional method, too honest and direct which can be shocking for some.
-
Thanks everyone for the feedback so far.
I'm going to expand on it and put some portfolio stuff, companies that I do work for and so on.
I really want to elaborate on the exam material and hopefully it could help others. I know exams don't mean much but after a long spell of not getting any done, its a self achievement award for me.
Let's see how I get on.

@Dominica it always surprises me too!

Yay! What do I win?
Great looking site by the way, what's it written with?
-
@Gabi Very Great Site! Thanks for sharing!

@Gabi Site seems to load fairly slow for me. It looks like a CMS of some type. Customized WordPress? My campaign website will never be that customized unless one of my players decides to tinker with it for me.
-
The site looks really nice, easy on the eyes and good navigation.
@Carnival-Boy He's using WP 3.9 which is stable.
@JaredBusch the site/server side does need some work to speed it up. According to GTmetrix it gets a D for both Page Speed (Google) and Yslow (Yahoo!)
@Gabi if you need assistance with the those scores, let me know as I was able to pull mine up to B's. Our next layout will be using font awesome to bring it up to A's.

It did take a second for the background pic to load for me as well.
-
Maybe it is not using a CDN yet.

And what a splendid day it is today, nice and sunny considering it's getting to the winter here down under. (where I am)
Not done any optimising yet, due to having paid commitments. As it's my personal one, I do not provide myself the professionalism that I provide clients
Homepage is a bit slow due to the excessive image on there, hasn't been compressed for the tinterweb yet.
Don't really have a lot of plugins, but I will be stripping out what I do not need and optimising the code where possible.
No CDN yet as Scott has pointed out, plus the hosting is in the UK, with a company I (and my colleague) have around 300 sites with, but will be changing from, as I am finding extra performance issue and support is not as what it used to be.
I'll be showing a before and after optimised website matrix on the blog, once I have finished so people can see the difference and how I went about it.
Sorry about this, I sound all mature and I have just bored myself too much.

Gosh I love W3 Cache, I tend to use this for the GZIP compression, instead of doing it through the .HTACCESS file (even though the latter is my preferred method. On the About me page, gone from Page Speed Grade of 53% to 96%.
I'll sort out the rest later and put a blog post on it.
