  1. The CMS analogy

    Chris Coyier from CSS Tricks has published an analogy describing the relationship between HTML and a CMS.

    HTML isn’t for content these days, it’s for describing content. Databases are for content.

  2. A plug-in for WordPress custom post types

    We’re all aware of WordPress 3.0 and it’s new features including my favourite; Custom post types. This for anyone who doesn’t know is the ability to post different types of content rather than strictly posts and pages. Prior to custom post types I had to rely on using categories to separate content and it was less than ideal.

  3. The importance of being small

    As a freelancer I want to stay as small as I can from a business perspective. This might seem a funny thing to say but my goal in life isn’t to become a multi-millionaire. I learned a long time ago that there is a lot more to life than simply making money.

  4. Elsewhere: The problem with free fonts

    Matt Ward talks about the problem with free fonts over at Designm.ag:

  5. To ExpressionEngine and back again…

    I’ve been toying with the idea of moving my site over to ExpressionEngine for quite some time and last week I actually started to do so. The first thing I did was purchase a Freelance license which was the most suitable option for me and conveniently the most affordable also.
