The personal blog of a regular guy

For the past week or so I’ve been working hard to upgrade my dad’s badminton portal website so that it can take advantage of the features offered by my current webhost. The website has become my first self-coded PHP website, and my second table-less layout after the travel journal website. Of course I read a lot of tutorials and books in order to this, and after working day after day implementing features and ironing out the bugs, the site is finally ready for show time. Obviously being written by myself, the website is nowhere near as advanced as my main site here powered by XOOPS, but it’s enough for the purpose of serving articles. Click the earlier in this paragraph if you want to visit.

This is a completely separate website that is focused on the sport of badminton. I designed this site in order to put my father’s numerous badminton articles online. His articles talk about many aspects of badminton, such as tactics, skills, training etc. There is both an English and a Simplified Chinese version of the website, and visitors can switch back and forth between the two languages. The articles were originally in Chinese, and were translated into English by yours truly. This website has also been recoded completely to take advantage of PHP and MySQL in the December of 2006.

This is another one of those essays written for my grade 10 summer school essay writing course. I didn’t post it earlier with the other summer school essays due to the fact that I didn’t know where I put this essay. I wrote this essay because I am (or was) a frequent badminton player. I still play, but not as much as before. This is a pretty general essay about badminton. If you want more in depth information about the sport, please visit the badminton portal. Of course, I got an A for this effort, like all my summer school essays.
