Back to the blogosphere

Well, it’s only been just over 100 days since I left Team Rubber (and almost half as long again since I last wrote a blog post), so it’s high time I got a new website set up.

So I have.

In the interests of making this at least vaguely technical, I’ve decided to go with a mixture of Plone 4 and Wordpress, fronted by deliverance. Plone 4 being entirely distributed as eggs has made setting it up in a WSGI environment even easier, although there are still a few pain points to do with deliverance and the whole setup, especially as both Wordpress and Plone make it difficult to change the markup used in their portlets, something for which deliverance isn’t well suited.

    Welcome back, MatthewWilkes! Lookin’ good!

  2. Congrats on the new setup!

    Protip: Including your name somewhere on the page. Currently you post as “admin” to the Planet RSS feeds, and nowhere on this page is your name mentioned. I guessed it correctly, but only because you mentioned Team Rubber. ;)

    There’s always something, isn’t there Alex? It has my name in the RSS now, so it will show up on syndicated feeds at least. I’m still working on the CSS (obviously) and templates, but I’ll try and make it show something about me on the page so it’s obvious when reading.

    Not that it matters much until I work out how to make deliverance not painfully slow in the setup, of course.
