In April 2008, I created my personal website: nathanlittleton.co.uk. What I remember most is the period of months to follow, where I was proud of my work and eager to tell everyone about it. Just more than two years on, and the blog has been neglected, the information is out-of-date and I don’t like the site’s design as much as I once did? Shocking really, when I think back to how my finest work gave me the opportunity to flex my web design muscles, packing it with as many features as I could.
But the internet and the way we use it has changed massively since that time. I was on the cusp of technology when I’d integrated delicious bookmarking into my site and added a Twitter feed while I tested the features of both. Only one survives in my regular usage today, but worldwide the way we use the internet has changed a huge amount.
This was highlighted when I reminisced with someone about the long lost days of Friends Reuinited – a phenomenon of the late-90s/early-00s. I can’t imagine they’re thriving as they once were.
So I think I’ll give my personal website an overhaul as new opportunities dawn and we can be truly social.

Welcome to the brand new Future Visions blog! This blog accompanies the all new Future Visions website which has launched today. It’s a great improvement on the old website, and showcases examples of some of our best, most recent work. Not only that, but you’ll also find much more information on the services we offer.
While we’re always pretty busy, we’re looking to use the blog to keep people informed on newly launched websites and important information such as special offers, the first of which will appear today.
We’d love to hear your thoughts on the new website – hit the comments to give us your two pence.
How to ensure vCards and other files not fully supported by your web server can be downloaded as files.
vCards are a special file which contains contact information for a person or organisation. They’re like virtual business cards, as the name would suggest. They’re supported by most, if not all, address book and CRM applications as a standard. As I developed a website recently, I came across an issue which Googling did not solve. Here’s the story.
