Be A Good Jedi Part 2: It’s Alive

Thursday, November 19, 2009 -

Back in August I wrote a post about building your own blog as a way of sharpening your skills and it was interesting, to say the least, to read the feedback. Well I’m happy to say that what you’re reading is the result of that post. I’m off of WordPress, doing my own thang and I couldn’t be happier.

I Recorded All of It Too

Have to say this was really fun – I recorded all of the development (including screw ups and bad starts) for Tekpub. I did it in a “day in the life” style which added some interesting edit points for me (had to decide if swearing was OK).

If you’d like to watch it – you can see a preview here.

I’m Not Even Close To Being Finished

Yes, you’ve probably crashed it by now – and that’s OK. This was an “emergency push” on my part as WordPress was ramping out FastCGI for some reason. Not too sure why – but my comments were breaking and it was an overall bad experience.

Anyway – I’ll be tweaking this thing as time goes on so please – break it for me.
