Before I became a professional web developer (a whole seven months ago), I didn’t have a solid grasp on what a content management system was. The name kinda explains itself, but I really didn’t see how they related to the job. Before being hired at my current company, I put together a quick example of how I would make a homebrew CMS work and put it on the old version of this site. It was terribly simple, but it demonstrated that I knew what I was doing.

Now, I have enough experience with them to formulate educated opinions on some of them:

• I love Wordpress, and will continue to sing its praises.
• I like Joomla, a variant of Mambo.
• I am intrigued by Drupal and Movable Type. I have very little experience with both, but I am playing with them.
• I hate ezPublish and TypePad (a watered-down Movable Type).

I’ll update with my reasons later.

When writing documentation in Word, one of my favorite font alterations is to use small caps. I just recently found the CSS equivalent to it: text-transform. Giving an element the style text-transform : uppercase turns this into this.

I’ve converted my old site into a Wordpress site, while managing to keep my original design intact! It wasn’t too hard either. Lots of things are broken, as is to be expected. I’ll fix then as time permits.

I got rid of that site, since it served no purpose. Take a look at the original (non-CMS) site, or download the Wordpress theme.
