We all know that Facebook is the dominant social network of the moment.  Three or four years ago, MySpace was the king of social.  Currently, there are a multitude of social websites each with a varying purpose.  The list of social sites like Twitter, FourSquare, Instagram, Skype, etc seems endless.     Now, Google is…

Well, as you can see, the new site is up and running. I’ll dump in my old content and begin working on the new theme ASAP. Thanks for your patience!

Well, I’ve finally decided to migrate my personal site from WordPress to Drupal.  I love WordPress, and I’m going to continue using it as a platform for various projects.  I actually have it running on several other projects at the moment so there is no reason to continue to use it for my personal site.…

You may have heard about a phenomenon sweeping the web development community: Responsive Web Design. Responsive Web Design (RWD) is the brilliant idea of one Ethan Marcotte.  In fact, this topic is so excellent that I decided to present it at our annual Webmaster’s Forum at the University of Illinois this past April.  I did…

I just got back from DrupalCon Chicago and I’m super excited about all the great stuff I learned in Chi-Town.  I’m going to post a more in-depth look at my DrupalCon adventure, but this “Initial Thoughts” post will hit on the key takeaways I had from the event.

Well, you’ll notice I’m rolling a new theme on the site.  Don’t worry, this theme business is only temporary as we make the port from Drupal 6 to 7.  Hopefully you’ll only see this theme for a day or two, then we’ll be back to regularly scheduled programming.

I really like the WordPress Android app.  I’m actually typing this post from the app right now on my Droid 2. The app gives you the option to start a new blog, add a wordpress.com blog, or to add your own self-hosted wordpress blog. I chose the later option for the purpose of this review.…
