Welcome…

Welcome to Rob Hall Online, I am Rob Hall and this is my website.

It was originally designed as a demonstration of my web-development skills for the benefit of potential employers, but I like to think the site has become much more.

The site features a blog, guestbook, chatroom, forum, tutorials, and code samples, all written from scratch by me.

Anyone can view the blog, view/sign the guestbook, view the chatroom, forums, tutorials, and code samples, but only registered users can post chat messages, and add forums threads / posts.  Registering requires only a unique name and a password, after which you're automatically redirected back to the page you came from (or the home page if that fails), only now you have a couple more features.

So enjoy yourself, laugh at my poor design skills, and sign the guestbook!

The site goes live.  For some reason, Minesweeper isn't loading images, and the guestbook has some data-validation problems.  Aside from that, everything is cool.

I think I've finished moving the more common functions into a single central file.  Now I just need to adapt the code so that it will be able to connect to the database wherever it is.  This will help when I upload the website - I won't have to modify the code so that it looks for the correct database.

I made a lighter copy of the background image as background to the forms.

I'm encountering problems connecting to different databases, so I'm moving all the database functions in to one file, then moving the connect and disconnect code to a single function.  Hopefully, this will allow me to update the entire site in one fell swoop.  Maybe I should've done this earlier. :)

Started the admin page which allows administrators to delete users.

Attached Minesweeper, my Spheres sample and my CV to the site.

Finished signing in and signing up.  I also removed the background image from form elements because it made the cursor nearly invisible.
