ExpressionEngine and I

I had needed to redesign my site and get a blog going for sometime. I have made several sites using Wordpress so this time I wanted to try another CMS. Textpattern was an option but in the end I went with ExpressionEngine which recently seemed to be getting a fair bit of exposure.

ExpressionEngine and I, part 2

In Part 1, I talked about how I got started with ExpressionEngine and some of the problems and disappointments I faced. It probably came across as pretty negative.

That was not my intention, because overall, I really do like ExpressionEngine. So, some of the things I like…

Highlight navigation in ExpressionEngine

Just a quick one to show how I highlight the navigation so that the user knows what section they are in. I use the URL segment variables to highlight the navigation.

HTML5

I redesigned this site in November, which gave me the chance to use ExpressionEngine. I quickly grow bored of the things I do for myself so I fancied another redesign and this time around I wanted to use HTML5 and see what it was all the fuss was about.

HTML5 runnin’ wild

It has been far too long since my last post. Reasons for this? Well I bought a new house which is cool and I got a new job which is also cool. Mix that with a splash of laziness and you get three months without writing. So what’s been going on?
