About

Welcome, I’m Mark Warner and this site contains information about a fairly eclectic mix of hobbies and interests. Hopefully you will find at least some of this information useful or entertaining. You may also be interested to take a look at AtlantisWeb which displays my photographs taken on my travels.

This site is powered by WordPress (at time of writing version 2.7). The core theme used is a modified and customised version of StudioPress Streamline theme. The photos that appear on this site are managed using the excellent NextGen Gallery add-in for WordPress. The Featured Content Gallery plug-in is used for displaying the featured content image on the home page.

Much of this site focuses on my interest in figure skating. Having only started skating in the Spring of 2007, this hobby has now become extremely addictive and is something that I find enjoyable, challenging and relaxing.

My other favourite hobby is horse riding, western style, which is a little difficult to find instruction in over here in England. However, whilst working in Texas I did take full advantage of the opportunities for riding that the Lone Star State provided. I work in IT and have a background in software development.

These days I work as a Project Manager so don’t get to do much programming. However in addition to maintaining this site I have designed two other WordPress based sites AtlantisWeb – Travel Photography and EasyIBS – Information about Irritable Bowel Syndrome. I’ve also developed a ZenCart powered e-commerce site for my sister’s Hand Made Jewellery Making business CharacterCrafts.
