My Latest News

On 30th June 2017 I took the step of securing my server communication with browsers by using 1&1 Internet’s TLS and certificate services. So now my main URL is HTTPS://helpfulcolin.com. Readers will see a padlock in their browser as a consequence.

I have also taken two more domains onboard helpfulcolin.co.uk and helpfulcolin.uk. They both communicate with HTTP not HTTPS but anyone searching for my site using these URLs will arrive at HTTPS://helpfulcolin.com and find my normal secure site from then on.

Posts Coming Soon

My next major Post will be:

  • A Fireplace Alcove Coloured Lighting Scheme

These are still in draft form but I still want to complete them:

  • Hanging Pictures
  • Plugging Screw Holes For An Old Hinge.
  • Water Proof/Resistant Adhesives I Use.

(NOTE: Titles may change in the finished posts.)

Site Construction

The site helpfulcolin.com was originally built in September 2011 by Digitalog© using the Side Blog theme and handed over to Helpful Colin by his mentors (see their links below) in December 2011. It was changed to a ‘Twenty Fourteen’ child theme in February 2014 by Helpful Colin.

The latest major change took place in December 2015 when WordPress version 4.4 became active and Helpful Colin changed the theme to the ‘Twenty Sixteen’ theme which is designed to look good on all screen sizes. Although this may have improved the blog for mobile users it has removed some functionality available in ‘Twenty Fourteen’.
