First blog post and introduction to my new personal site!Oct 15th category: blog | tags: lunch iphone first expression engine
The time came to redesign my personal site, the last one was very simplistic and was purely to showcase my portfolio and nothing else.
This time around I decided I wanted to be able to keep my own blog about my every day kind of stuff, and also talk about some of the challenges I face in the world of web development and design and how I deal with them in the hope that it’ll save time and shed some ideas to fellow web developers.
Since our CMS of choice at my place of employment is expression engine it made perfect sence for my site to be built on it too. It’s extremely powerful due to the mass amount of flexibility it allows you to have. I’ll be talking about this more in the upcoming weeks but for now my lunch is almost over and typing on my iPhone isn’t the fastest of things
