Blog

   Some of my favorite posts on the Internet are the ubiquitous "Client from Hell" stories. Probably the best ever is "How a Web Design Goes Straight to Hell", on the The Oatmeal. I was reading a post that came across Twitter that started talking about different scenarios where customers' expectations were absurd, from wanting to pay $150 for a Web site, to someone taking advantage of a college kid for a logo. We've all been there, situations maybe difficult to handle at the time, but fun to commiserate later.

Most of the time, when the phone rings, it is bad news.

  Well, I figured that while I am building the new site, it would be good to keep sort of a record of what I am doing, and how I am building it. I will do my best to actively update this post as I make changes

  So the site is built on the excellent open source content management system, Drupal. The version I initially install was 6.17, but is often updated. Drupal was chosen for 2 reasons: it is incredibly powerful, the community is very active. Often I am reading through the active issues for a particular module, and some one has just posted to the same forum.

  Welcome to our new Web site! We have been working night and day to get the new site up and running. There is still a long ways to go, but the majority of the functionality is in place now.
