• 1.7.07 Another look at ModX posted in Web Design

  I’m working on a CSS-debugging article, but in the meantime I thought I’d share a more sober look at the ModX CMS. I took a chance and used it to put together a static site AND a blog site for a client who needed both. I wanted a consistent login and editing […]

• 1.1.07 ModX Review posted in Web Design

  I always promise a post (I said I’d write a short TextMate tutorial), and then find something terribly exciting to write about before I get the intended post finished. And this one is exciting. If you’re using Joomla/Mambo and looking for an XHTML/CSS solution, read on. I had initially passed over the ModX CMS […]

• 12.20.06 The wonders of Wordpress posted in Web Design

  I don’t think there’s much Wordpress can’t do, with a little hacking. Over the last two days I was able to put together 2 sites that incorporated some very interesting features for clients. AutoTag» clients» tags» tricks» webdesign» wordpress» work»

• 12.18.06 Psuedo-static Homepages in Wordpress posted in Web Design

  I use Wordpress for a lot of my smaller client sites. It actually makes a decent CMS with a little hacking. It defaults to a blog style home page, but it’s simple to create a static page, old school style. However, I’ve had several clients lately that love the idea of […]

• 12.8.06 Review: Expanse CMS 1.3 posted in Web Design

  I reviewed Expanse a while back and had a few critical things to say, but a lot of hope for the future. Nate Cavanaugh, a developer of Expanse read the review and took to heart a few of my concerns. Seriously. Version 1.3 made some of the changes that I and […]

• 11.18.06 Dealing with Unreasonable Demands posted in Design, Web Design

  Thank the gods for contracts. I’ve started using (very expensive) contracts with all of my clients. Even the one’s I like ;-). I attach the detailed estimate (the one that they signed) to the signed contract and give them a copy. Indubitably, at the end of a job there come a […]

• 11.13.06 Some days… posted in Random Thoughts

  Despite all of the things I’ve gotten done today, I feel like I’m falling behind again. How do normal people ever keep up with all of this? I suppose normal people don’t quit their jobs and start their own businesses, taking on more clients than they can handle and working their ass […]

• 11.7.06 A new plan of attack posted in Geekery

  I’m giving up on the idea of writing modular plugins for every hook I want to add to xmlrpc. They don’t play nice together and require too many hacks to the blogging client. I’m going to write one massive plugin that adds all of the hooks I want and effectively overrides the […]

  So this is supposed to be a Geek/Design blog, and it’s usually more of one than the other at any given time, but today I’ve got to get just a little personal. Because telling you all about this crappy day is going to make me feel that much better ;-). First of all, I got […]
