Why use WordPress?
As those who know me will testify, I have not always been the biggest fan of Content Mangment Systems (CMS). In my time I have worked on a few large commercial systems and that experience has left me a little cynical. I still come to each new system with a touch of healthy sceptism. However, I have now been using Wordpress, for my own and client sites, since the release of 3.0 back in June last year (June 2010). Why did I make the jump?
Working on the move
As I’m going to be travelling a lot more I have been putting together my essentials for working on the move. Generally I need enough kit so that I can attend meetings, take notes at conferences, run workshops, do a quick alteration to a website, or just keep myself amused on the train.
Creativity is not about straight lines
There is nothing I enjoy more than that first blank page when I start a new project. I love to move my ideas around, work out how each element will interact with the next. If I’m designing a new interface then I’m sketching out the display, putting in each form element. For me this process is never tidy.
