Creative Juices Website Redesign, Act II

The past few months has been crazy. When I teased you a awhile back about relaunching the website, I didn't realize the amount of work I was about to undertake. Not with redesigning the site, but with my normal work load for my company. I've been working non-stop on client projects and I just didn't have time to tackle the giant task of redesigning and switching over the Create Juices website.

Well, I finally had a few spare hours and I decided to complete the task. So here it is, the new and improved (hopefully) Creative Juices website. The big difference is that I decided to switch the blog from Ray Camden's BlogCFC to the open source Mango Blog engine. So far I'm very impressed. I think this is going to allow me to post and organize projects a lot easier. Also, I love the fact that Mango allows me to create themes. This is going to allow me some freedom to stylize the site anyway I like.

Taking a Much Needed Break

I just wanted to give everyone a heads up that I will be taking a small vacation until next Monday. My top priority will be to finish debugging openWYSIWYG for Safari, and once that is complete I plan on finishing a few of my other projects. This includes the new ColdFusion Wiki Thingy I've been working on (if you haven't already figured it out, openWYSIWYG is an integral part of that)

And in true vacation form, I am not taking a laptop with me... it wouldn't be much of a vacation if I did! So the blog posts may be light or non-existent until I get back.

Enjoy your week everyone!

Improving Upon Wiki

I've been working on a little ColdFusion side project to improve my site for the past couple of days. I wanted to create a Wiki-Like portal that would allow me to post most of my ColdFusion and JavaScript snippets and also give the users the ability to add their own or make improvements by using a wiki like environment. I took a look at Canvas ColdFusion Wiki and I have to be honest, I really don't like working with the ModelGlue framework. I think it's great for some people, but I like to keep things simple.

Useful Resources

One of my clients recently asked me how I test my websites to check to see if they have any errors and if they are valid or not. Of course my response was "My sites are perfect, there's no need to bother checking."

I pretty much left it at that with them, but I thought I would share a few of my secret resources with you guys. I'm pretty big on cross-platform standards and these are some of the tools I use to ensure this.

I was making some tweaks to our website last night and I think I broke it. Everything should be back to normal now, but if you have any problems, let me know. Sorry!

*Thanks for the heads-up Seth!
