About me

Introduction:

Hello everyone, my name is Alejandro Urbano, a website and software developer currently established in the north of Spain. I am now studying telecommunications engineering, a career centered in software and communications signals.

I have been designing, developing and creating websites for several years now, ranging from social networks, simple applications, personal pages... etc which has given me enough experience to work in any project I find interesting

Why this blog?

Many times I have struggled with coding problems going from simple stuff to rather complex situations that wouldn't appear elsewhere, so I was alone without help. And finding the solution was always such a great feeling I wanted to share it with other developers who might be in my same position, so I decided to start this blog.

Inspiration:

I've got a few people ask me about how do I select my topics, how do I know what to write about... I guess the answer is simple: This blog is being written at the same time I work on my projects, so everytime I come up against something I don't know how to do I learn how to, and then I write about it.

Every time I come across a code I need and I can't find in google, I write it myself and then I post here how it is done and a download link and everything. This way I guess my articles are... useful?

Thanks to all of you out there who visit my blog, remember this blog is part of my website, where you can find some free designs, my portfolio, and quite a lot of information about me and my work...

Current theme:

Officially on version 3 I guess! This complete redesign was done ground up from scratch, although the idea had been flying around my head for quite a while.
I wanted it to be grunge, the artwork, with vivid bold colors, I was sick of my dull previous design.
I also wanted to have some sort of originality and give a sense of boundless options of design, break of conventions and simply let go with the design elements (As you can probably tell from the comments stylign, the forms, the RSS link... )

Anyway, I love the current theme, and at least for the following year it will be Urbano's Blog's new face.

My RSS feed:

Well, I never used much RSS feeds, but I guess that since WordPress has such good tools preinstalled, I'll use it...
And I have to say that it is not bad at all! Below you can see the number of readers and I have to say I am surprised to see how fast I've gotten quite a good number! Thanks to you of course

So here is my little "feedburner chicklet" thing:

And here is my "rotating post titles"
