I try to keep this updated with my new graphic design and photography work. Technically it is a blog, and I love to write but never seem to make time for it.. So occasionally you may run across a few of my unedited tirades thoughts.

I love my work. In fact, I literally need it to survive, so please consider hiring me for your next project.  It’ll do you good!

 

 

Finding SilverStripe


Lately I’ve been researching and testing out various content management systems (CMS), and to tell the truth, I have been rather disappointed with the products available. For those of you who don't know, a CMS helps you create websites and manage your content with a readymade back-end. The problem is that most of the systems available were built with capabilities that are either too specific or too broad. For example, Wordpress is great if all you want is a blog. On the other side of the spectrum are the huge and dominant content managers such as Droopal, Joomla and Mambo. These are great and offer a lot of options for customization, but I've never found them very intuitive to use, or friendly to play with.
