Natasha's Website : Home Page

Natasha's Website is a window on the life of a blunt Northern lass who hasn't always been a girl; who some may think of as a bloke in a dress.

Natasha's Website : An Overview
There are threads in my life that I'm using this website to record, explore and share with the world. At the moment it is all rather arbitrary what's getting put up here, but I do have a fair idea where it's heading as it slowly grows and develops. One thing that you will notice from this site is that nothing ever happens quickly in the world of Natasha Moorfield.

The navigation bar to the left shows all the main sections of the site, which I shall briefly describe for you below. Each page is divided up into a number of sections, each of which can be jumped to from the navigation bar. At the end of each section is an up-arrow which will return you to the top of the page.

About Me
No transvestite's personal website can be without an About Me section. Here, perhaps as much for my own benefit as your's, I shall be trying explain who and what I am.

Natasha's Burble
This is my web log, where I witter on about the themes in this site and much else besides. I may not be the world's most prolific blogger, but I do try to keep a regular stream of ideas coming. My blog is currently hosted by Blogger [external link], which, like so many things has good and bad points. If I had the time, I'd write my own blogging software, but, as they say, when you've borrowed someone else's dog, why bark yourself?

Natasha's Photos on www.flickr.com
This a link to my Flickr account, which, like a lot else, I'm not making full use of just yet.

Natasha on Tour
This section is not, as the title may suggest, a travelogue - although there is a good deal of travel involved - but a ramble through my Real Ale drinking expeditions: a world of public houses, beer festivals and the weird pastime of beer ticking.

The Travel Kiosk
This section is designed, primarily, as a travel information resource for anyone interested in following me in leaving the car behind. At present, as you will probably notice, there is a marked bias towards the North of England. There is a good reason for this; it's where I live.

Lynx
The very essence of the www is its interconectedness and no website is complete without a links section. This section is probably going to be the next bit of the site to undergo major redevelopment. You may well notice the total lack of any t*girl links on it at the moment, for example.

Tribute to The Archers
Not being possessed of (or by) television, I spend a lot of time listening to radio. Being the highbrow little princess that I am means a fair amount of time being tuned to BBC Radio 4. Though there is much here to be commended, there is one thing that drives me to distraction...


What's New
Stuff new or updated in the last 3 Months (since Saturday, 5 June 2010).

There has been nothing new reported since Friday, 19 September 2008.

Future Development
One thing I see with many websites is that they appear as (sometimes perfectly) finished items and then that's it. The interested visitor, once having seen it, has no reason to return, because it never moves on. What I hope to achieve with this site is, perhaps, the exact opposite. The site you see here is certainly far from complete, and that is deliberate. What I'm aiming for is a site that evolves; one that will, in some measure, reflect my changing outlooks - picking up new interests and leaving others behind. I hope, as well, that it will change with the implementation of new coding tricks and techniques, as well as just plain better design.

My intention is that I will never be in a position to step back and say of this site that it's finished. That said, it's taken long enough - too long - to get this far. Although I have many plans and ideas, some may never come to fruition, some only slowly, while new threads may unexpectedly appear. The development of this site is intended to be an evolutionary process; one that will see the site adapt to changes in what I want to project from it and changes in what others may want to get from it. To that end, if you have any comments, suggestions or things you think should be here but aren't, then do feel free to drop me an I would be particularly grateful to hear from you if you think anything presented here as fact is incorrect.

Please feel free to email me with your comments, questions, observations or requests. I'm a little less hung up about maintaining my privacy than I was when this site first went live but, to avoid a lot of wasted time and effort, just be aware that I'm really not interested in sex with girls, boys or other t*girls. Beer, that's what I like!


Technical Develpoment
The code used to create this website is intended to be fully standards compliant and a lot of it has been validated using the W3C Markup Validation Service [external link]. This means the site should work well in any browser on any platform. I do not have the facility or the patience, however, to test it in anything other than a small sample of browsers. You may like to note, therefore, that the vast majority of testing and my own use of Natasha's Website in on the latest version of Firefox 3, my browser of choice. The site is also, but far less rigorously, tested using Opera (another good browser) and Micro$oft Internet Explorer (because, for reasons I cannot fathom, lots of people are still using it.)

If you find something on this site that doesn't appear to work properly in your browser, please don't hesitate to ; if I don't know it's broken, I can't fix it.

Almost everything on this site is built out of hand-coded HTML, CSS, PHP and a light sprinkling of JavaScript. Most of the purely HTML code has been developed using the Coffee Cup HTML Editor. This and other web development software from Coffee Cup [external link], I don't mind saying, has proved excellent value for money. More recently I have been using the open-source NetBeans IDE [external link] for developing some more complex scripts.


The Colour Scheme
I have used the following colour chart to pick colours for this web site, otherwise the colour choices have been pretty arbitrary. These colours are not compliant with the so-called "Browser Safe" palate. If, however, the colours you see look like shit, it may not be your browser or your monitor that's at fault; it may be just be the fact that I am alarmingly colour-blind!
