Can you help?

Hello again.

My 2nd post is hopefully more two-directional because this is where I really need you to get involved, as the title suggests I need your help.

Firstly, I have several issues relating to the set-up of this blog.  That is stuff to do with Wordpress such as plug-ins/widgets and design issues such as CSS.  If someone could point me to a big CSS how-to for Wordpress I would be incredibly grateful.

Secondly , I would be interested to know what you want from this blog.  Although I am unlitamtely in charge of what goes on here, you, the readers, can have a big say. GET YOUR IDEA IN QUICK!

Anyway, I’ll add some more requests in the comments, please reply back if you’ve any advice/answers, I’d love to hear from you.

Thanks again, Matt.

Let’s Begin!

Hello there everyone!  The journey starts here!

I will first begin by introducing myself and then I’ll talk about what’s going to be going on with this blog.

So if you have read my about page I apologize because I’m going to repeat myself but hopefully this will benefit many readers.

My name is Matt, I’m 16 and I’m a student.  I live in the UK and go to sixth form where I am studying Business, IT and French.  I am very interested in technology and particularly the internet and through rummaging round online I discovered blogs, learnt a bit about them and now (just over 6 months later) I have started my own.  Other than this though I am also interested in Tennis, Football and I don’t mind a good film now and again.

I started this blog (29.6.08) because I wanted to improve my writing, learn more about studying as I’m going to be doing quite a lot of it over the next few years and to have a bit of fun online.

I hope it will cover the following areas:

  • Studying practices, learning styles etc.
  • Productivity/GTD.
  • Using technology to help you (hence themodernstudent)
  • Self improvement.

Anyway, I won’t be posting here for a few weeks to come as I try and tweak things here, plus I’m working full time at the moment.  In the mean time though you can contact me here and of course do follow me on the twitter for even more updates.

Do stick with me for the journey because I think it will be worth it for you in the end, regardless of whether you’re a student or not.

Thank you, Matt.
