Well, this humble blog started as a standard Wordpress install. I quickly moved to the Hemmingway theme, but then thought that my site lacked any of my personality. So I set about to rebuild it. My first attempt was chronicled on this blog. My intentions were to make it available as a Wordpress theme for anyone to download.

But alas, the same old story of too much "real" (ie: paid) work to do led to a situtation where poor Peepo (that's the name of that menacing looking character in the site's header) never really found a good home.

All of that has changed! I've rebuilt the entire blog using Code Igniter, and I built it the way I wanted it to work. I'll be releasing a series of videos chronicling the rebuilt process, but more on that later. For now, I'd love to hear your thoughts? Love it? Hate it? Have you found a bug I should look at? How about you Mac users, I haven't been able to test it in Safari yet... any notables?

Here's a before and after side-by-side.
