That's Splattastic!
(Web Stuff • Work)
Now that I no longer chase down news on a regular basis, I’ve had time to get back into web development. This site, the original FortBendNow and others I created a few years ago were done up in Textpattern, which at the time I considered the premier author-controlled, database-driven content management system.
I still think it’s a damn fine CMS, but wanted to revisit WordPress, in which I hadn’t dabbled since probably 2003.
Wow.
W-P has advanced by miles since then. The user base, support system and development community is huge, so much so that working with WordPress is downright fun.
For a glimpse of what I’ve been up to, may I present Splattastic!, intended to serve as a resource for those who’ve found themselves economically displaced in the current fiscal morass. I wish there weren’t any need for something like this, but something tells me it’s going to get worse before it gets better.
If you have a moment, please check it out and let me know if you spot any bugs. Even though I spent hours this morning working around all the web site display problems the horrid Internet Explorer 6 browser causes, I’m sure many nasty insects remain to be discovered.
Finally, I implore you, if you have IE6 on your computer, use it one more time to upload a current copy of the fine standards-compliant Opera or Firefox browsers (OK, if you absolutely have to, upgrade to IE8 and then go wash your hands). But for the love of God, rip IE6 off of your PC right this instant.
