Welcome to my new home on the web

 -Monday, September 01, 2008 By: Jon Kinney

It’s been a long time coming but I finally got my new site up and running on the open source Rails CMS engine Radiant. I installed a ton of plugins to get the site tweaked out just how I wanted it, and it’s now a full fledged blog with comment and archiving support, tagging, etc.

I’m quite impressed with what I was able to do in a day. Of course I spent a whole other day troubleshooting the mailer extension which didn’t seem to want to work for the life of me. But I was able to finally trace that down to a single plugin I was using that would tweet a new blog post automatically when I made one. Definitely a cool extension and I hope to get it working soon but for now it had to be left out so I could launch the site.

I will be migrating over some old blog posts and dating them approximately when they were written. Look for those posts very soon. In the mean time, check out my portfolio or send me a note if you want to get in touch.

Thanks for stopping by!
