This is a place to dump various texts that I write from time to time. Not of the literary sort (pretentious? moi?) because there is already a place for that: words in progress, but other stuff. We shall see where this goes.
Anyways: I could start by 'splaining how this site is set up, and, perhaps, also why it is that way? Firstly, the site home page is lovingly handcrafted, and merely a landing page (as the marketing people upstairs would pontificate about.) From there you can find links to a couple of outside locations where I maintain a presence:
- My current blogging activity, over at Posterous
- Those delicious links that I have deemed to be of wider interest
Inside the warm and fuzzy place that is bertramonline.com you will find:
- Photos. My more wanna-be artsy-fartsy stuff is in an ever-growing gallery powered by Zenphoto. I have tried a few web photo management applications, and I like the relative simplicity of this app - and also the cool skin I found for it.
- Family photos in a photo blog driven by Pixelpost. Alas, unless I have given you a login, you cannot see these. Believe me: they are soooo good - mainly because 99% of the subjects are our adorable children.
- There is small gallery set up in Galleria, containing some photos that these two lovely boys took with a camera that has now, alas, been lost ( last seen on a train between Odense and Copenhagen. We think.) Cool little gallery, this Galleria, at least for smaller projects.
- My literary endeavors, delivered by the mercy of Stacey - an intriguing and very clever little thing for quickly creating a portfolio-like site.
- Oh: and you are here, in a section that has been built as an invisible wiki1, using WikkaWiki.
I guess that this reflects that I am either restless or not capable of deciding what software to use? That could very well be true. I have, in previous incarnations of this site, used TextPattern, Movable Type, Blosxom, and Wordpress. I have written parts of a CMS myself and abandoned it.
For now, my philosophy is rather to keep things simple and to use tools that are focused on one things only (and that do that one thing well.) 2
