It’s what the Seventies were all about!

Not least because there’s a song named after my football team - Leeds United - but the Luke Haines album “Off My Rocker At The Art School Bop” is a fantastic bit of silvery disk action.

How can you not like the line: “And now the chorus … Leeds United! Leeds United!”.

Leeds Gig Guide gets a revamp…

I’ve been busy lately working on a new design for Leeds Gig Guide. The old site was table-driven, looking a little lame and in dire need of some new features.

I took the Yahoo YUI developers kit and based the whole site on its grid and fonts css implementations. Although obviously I get the blame for the design… *wink*.

The Yahoo Calendar implementation made life a lot easier for the Gig Guide, well, basically because it’s an event guide and hence primarily date oriented. Date selection was handled by a javascript request (using Yahoo Connection) to a PHP/MySQL backend which retrieves the gigs for that date and displays the back.

And I got to play a little with Flickr too for some band-related imagery.
