I'm proud to say that I built everything on this site from the ground up — from an empty DocumentRoot with no files and an empty database with no tables, to the site in its present state! Why write everything from scratch when there are already so many CMS's available? Because I can, because this is a labour of love, and besides, I learnt a lot more this way.
