WordPress as a CMS/ Short Story

Notice about an upcoming project.

Hey ladies and gents,

1.) I’ve been asked to create a site by a small business in town with which I have personal ties. It’s a bit of a daunting task because the entirety of my web-design experience is isolated to an 18 month period between now and December of ’08. The other thing is that I’ve been using WordPress all that time. WordPress is software that you can opt to install on your server, and it offers a slew of easy ways to create nice looking sites, but more often then not, it is used for portfolios, blogs, and creative media sites like mine.

This business needs a Content Management System, which is a verbose way of referring to an online catalog, but because I’m very limited to WordPress in a lot of ways, I have to find a way of applying that software to the needs of the business. I’ve got an idea. I’ll update you all and provide links to the site as the project nears completion, and of course, after the business has given it the OK.

2.) Short story on the way. It’s a longer version of my first ficly. I’ll be making shorts stories of all my ficlys. Should be good to go by Wednesday or Thursday.

3.) Trying to get footage of Canistel’s performance last Friday for the write-up I’m planning.

That’s all the news folks, thanks for reading.

Coffee House

Update on my first gig.

Hey folks, the Coffee House was postponed because of weather, so it’s going to be on the 24th of this month, which means it’s coming up soon. We’ve been fairly successful at mastering the songs we are going to play for the set list, and have decided to play around with some stuff from other artists in the mean time. We’ve done some Dream Theater, Foo Fighters, Goldfinger, Metallica, Chili Peppers, and a little Rush. It’s been a ton a fun. I’ll put out another update after the show, if it actually goes down. Given my suspicion that there are very few bands signing up, it may be canceled entirely. We’ll see. If it is kaput I’m going to have to find another place to play. Maybe the band and I can put on a show by ourselves at the school.
