## Why Worldoweb? Does it mean anything?

### Well, Worldoweb is my Yorkshire way of saying World Of The Web

Hello! I am [Tracy Ridge](https://www.tracyridge.co.uk/), a coding enthusiast.

I initially created this blog to shed light on the recurring security issues with Windows OS. In the process, I delved deeper into my passion for web design and mastered skills in JavaScript, PHP, HTML, CSS, and WordPress. I graduated with an Honours Degree in Computing and IT (Software) in 2025.

Through Worldoweb, I love sharing my discoveries, with a mix of web design and development insights, as well as articles on scams and various security challenges.

### A Glimpse into My Life

Born in South Yorkshire, England, I relocated to Aberdeenshire, Scotland in 2001. I’m a proud parent of two wonderful children. My eldest child has graduated from the University of Dundee and works as a software developer. She occasionally contributes articles to Worldoweb. Meanwhile, my youngest works in retail.

I pride myself on being laid-back, but I have a sharp wit and a playful sense of humour. Apart from tech, my interests span football, gaming, criminology, the paranormal, cooking, and reading. And on a particularly upbeat day, you might even find me enjoying some cleaning!
