Hello and welcome to our WebShed. Since we launched our new site, you’ve probably been wondering "What's this WebShed Blog all about then?", so here’s the answer. Aron and myself will be blogging about everything web related. Topics we’ll aim to cover include web standards, new web technologies, design trends and RapidWeaver tips!

We've been wanting to start a web related blog for a while now to give us a platform so we could share all the tips and tricks we pick-up in our daily web lives.

We’re also aware that some people don't realise just how powerful RapidWeaver is, so we'll be handing out useful snippets of code and a little know-how for you to enhance your RapidWeaver built site. You could say we'll be taking your weaving to the next level!

We're new to this so we're definitely open to any suggestions on topics you'd like us to cover. If you have any ideas (or just want to say hi) please leave us a comment below.
