Released a Web Site Template

I'm really excited about this. When I was working on the design for my current web site (view it in action), I didn't think it was going to be that good. Then I learned a pretty sweet JavaScript library (jQuery), and it was turning out pretty good. Then I published it and I got some really good comments. Then I decided I was going to release it as an Open Source template. It was really easy licensing it under a Creative Commons license, but writing the documentation was going to be a pain.

I was originally going to hand code all the documentation, but that was taking forever. I installed MediaWiki (the same thing that powers Wikipedia), and I am so happy with my choice. It's so easy to make pages and edit them. I can spend more time writing documentation and less time coding.

Today all my work has payed off with the release of Narcissist.

What's next? Well I'm learning Java and PHP. I have already implemented some PHP in Backyard Studio's web site and hope to make it so I can make it a CMS.

I will also be making a template out of Backyard Studio's design and releasing a SilverStripe theme.
