A little about the update...
I wanted to write a brief note for those who are wondering about the new look and what’s really going on. I decided to switch to a CMS after several months of looking at my own homebrew CMS and realizing that there is something to be gained by working in groups with others on the same project.
I had played around with Joomla and Drupal as CMS options and then I came across Textpattern. This definitely is the system for me. Although I have had to beef up my PHP skills a little bit, the transition from server-client javascript made that very easy.
