REVELATIONS MULTIMEDIA ONLINE

Established in 1997; Revelations Multimedia Online is this very website - originally the platform for Revelations Multimedia; my own 'personal company' that produced all of my creative work.

It evolved from Stead Multimedia Publications - a similar concept - that I registered free with the now-defunct 'FreeNetName' ISP package:

If Only It Were True

1997 - 2001

In the first five years of its life, Revelations Multimedia Online, as the title tag proudly proclaimed, was a testbed for html experimentation, including important groundwork with colour schemes and frame work.

If Only It Were True

Apart from a new banner, little evidence of this constantly-changing period remains. Probably due to the fact the I was busy getting on with the whole business of the most enlightening years of my life...
Although this started to change in February 2001, when Forever Friends began.

2002 - 2003

After the local success of Forever Friends, I completed its sequel - Forever Friends 2: R2 Crew; before the endless summer of 2002 saw an increase in website design and the "Books, Films, Games and Music" theme that ran for a number of years first emerged:

If Only It Were True

Parallel to the creation of Ridgefield: United We Stand, I came up with the "If Only It Were True" slogan, albeit in an irritating, mis-capitalized form.

2004 - 2006

Despite never seeing the light of day, "ReVeLaTiOnS MuLtImEdIa ONLINE - If OnLy It WeRe TrUe" set the groundwork for a more random collection of pages that all link back to the creator, in some form or other:

If Only It Were True

The 2005 incarnation introduced many new features to RMO - a blog and forum to name but two - but failed to capture the assortment of random pages that had begun to build in the previous incarnation.
And so, in 2006, a concious decision was made to re-capture this material in the 10th anniversary incarnation of the site.

2007

In February 2007 the site was relaunched with a full blog; detailled project information; and information on my favourite books, films, games and music:

If Only It Were True

2008

In a further bid to showcase my ideas and creations to the unsuspecting internet, I designed a radical new look to my website - a simplistic approach that cut out bulky templating:

I had arrived at the final incarnation you see before you.

If Only It Were True

2009 onwards

But, in the background, things had already begun to change: My experimentation with wordpress on a few test sites (like the Robinson Report), had grown my confidence in switching to a more automated system - one that didn't require endless manually tweaking of html, just to update a simple page.

I have also decided to bring the world of Revelations Multimedia Online to an end - and switch (as you have no doubt been directed to already) to djstead.net - the new home for my thoughts/ideas/occasional spurts of creativity/and all round thingymybobs that relate to My Life (TM).

For those of you that were with me on this 12 year journey, I thank you for your company: Our future is at djstead.net
