First post!
I have finally developed my site to a point where I am comfortable deploying it. I have chosen Django (a Python web framework) to build this site. I am very happy with Django, and I will certainly be building more with it. Who knows? I might even become a contributor one day.
So within one day of having my site ready to go, I change the layout a little based on feedback from an art student I know. Thanks Rob!
But more seriously, I love this new posting engine, which I built from scratch. I can add pages on the fly by only modifying a config file; the engine does the rest. I can add, edit, and delete anything from anywhere, which is a major improvement over my last site which had static pages. However, like my old site, this site will be a constant work in progress. My plan is to write a custom build script to generate CSS, minify that CSS, optimize my JavaScript, and run any and all unit tests.
Beyond that I plan on making other applications with Django, including a notebook application, similar to what Google Notebook used to be. Everything I mentioned is likely to come over Spring break and Summer.
