It’s About Time

Sunday, September 30, 2007

It’s taken me forever to finally get around to it, but this site is finally up!

There are still lots of things I have in planned for this site, but the hardest part is over now. It’s kind of funny how I design and build websites on a daily basis, but when it comes to putting together a simple site for myself it takes me 4 months. Oh well, at least it’s finally getting going. Hopefully I can get this one all wrapped up before another 4 months pass me by.

I designed this site on a Mac. Wrote the XHTML and CSS using ~~BBEdit~~ TextMate. I use ExpressionEngine for my CMS because it rocks my face in and I host it all at Dreamhost because they are righteous.
