Hello World!

I'm Tom, an Edinburgh based software developer.

Tom Piddocks Logo - A work in progress

I'm glad you have found my front page - from here I can show you who I am in a way that I feel looks awesome and so you can see what I do in one place. Please, enjoy the website and take a moment to find out more about me, my work, and my ambitions. Have any questions? Contact me anytime and I will be happy to get back to you.

Blog Tagging System

Adding a simple tag system to the blog software

My next endeavour with my website is to add the tagging system to the blog. The backend tables are already created and I have some sample data to use for the tags on the website (such as "PHP", "Website Development", "Game Development", etc.) These will be added to posts by using a relational table that links a post ID with a particular tag ID. Posts I publish on my blog should be showing these soon.

Along with the ability to filter posts by tags, this will also enable us to create tag based RSS feeds so the blog software can report RSS for only certain kinds of posts when people want to subscribe to a specific post type.

More development on that soon!
