Version 3 of my portfolio, running on WordPress.
Getting well enough ahead on my university work left me with a good amount of time to build version 3 of my portfolio website. After learning the WordPress content management system and having a reasonable amount of fun with PHP, everything is working better than ever and creating new posts has never been easier! With that out of the way I’ve already been thinking about getting some user registration involved so users will be able to comment on future posts and lots of cool things that. Stay tuned!

So sure enough, not long after I rebuilt the site to use WordPress, I started to build somewhat of my own content management system (just to see if I could pull it off on my own). So that is what I used as a main focus for my university semester. I custom build my own system using Handlbars JS, HTML, CSS and JavaScript on a Node.JS backend. I even managed to get a little WEBGL in there as well to get some 3d animations rendering on the fly (learned from my “Mathematics for 3d space and simulations” module). The platform has full login capabilities where new blog posts can be written, updated and deleted, user profiles can be customised and posts can also be pinned to the top of your profile that support HTML embedding, perfect for that SoundCloud link 😉
Technologies used:
- WordPress
- HandleBars JS
- HTML5
- CSS3
- JavaScript
- Node
- Express
- mySQL
- XML
