iAmsad gets a rebuild

After quite a long time with no attention, iamsad.co.uk has finally had a back-to-basics rebuild.

As my oldest website iamsad.co.uk has had more rebuilds than I can remember.

As well as being my first proper website it was also my first SEO project. After some tweaking it quickly reached the top of Google's listings for 'funny websites' and stayed there for years. It's still usually found on the front page for 'funny websites' even though all active attempts to influence the site's performance stopped a long time ago.

The last time the site had an overhaul I was experimenting, (rather badly), with grids and tried to build the site around a big ad space. The end result was rather an unsatisfactory mess and subsequently I haven't really been back since.

Now however I have learned my lessons and can turn the focus of the site back to what made it popular in the first place - links to sad and funny websites and some inspired dry and sardonic quips from The Sadmaster.

As ever it still needs some work but now that the code, database, mark-up and CSS structure are all in better shape it shouldn't be too long until the site is something to be proud of again.
