15 Minute Increments

May 17th, 2009 | Posted in application design, markup, uidesign | No Comments

I’m having trouble finding large chunks of time to devote to mastering the WordPress installation on this site. My friend Alice mentioned a book today, I can’t remember the name. It had something to do with teaching you how to make time to sew by dividing the tasks into 15-minute increments. Since I don’t sew my mind immediately jumped to the site and how I could divide the tasks into small increments. I don’t think 15 minutes is enough time but I’m applying the concept.

Blog as Content Management System

March 6th, 2009 | Posted in application design, markup, uidesign | No Comments

I’ve been thinking about doing this for a long time. Years. I started working with content management systems (CMS) in about 2001.  I’ve researched, selected, implemented and maintained them in various iterations since.  I think the concept is really cool. So the idea to use blog software as a CMS intrigues me. I chose to install WordPress because I’ve had great success installing it for other clients as a straight blog. My personal blog is hosted by WordPress.  It’s easy and I know how to customize it.
