We're Back!

Thats right, after nearly a year The Reverand finally get's around to doing something about his website. When you have an interest set as divergent as mine, it becomes easy to really focus on one or more of them for an extended period of time. In this case I focused heavily on programming and DJing and that was really not a very effective way to maintain a website. So as I settle into what is sure to be some of the bitch ass coldest days of this winter I have endevoured to turn my less than awesome website into an amazing one.

So What's New

New site powered by The Orchard

A great open source CMS that heas really come into it's own in the last year. You don't need to know what it is, you just need to know it makes all of this happen. I have some interesting modules I have built I'll be adapting over the coming months. Stay tuned....

Full attachment list right on the front page

Even before you stopped to read this article yo knew I attached some tracks to this post. Now you can just see the attached files with out opening the whole article. If the files are all you care about then so be it. Plus it gets more tracks fed into the embeded player on the homepage, and isn't that what really matters? Looking back at the old website, it was incredibly difficult to make this work in a predictable way in Wordpress, and even then I had to show full posts to make it happen. In Orchard, this was trivial.

Tip: To keep the music playing from page to page, install exfm for Chrome

MarkDown

A lightweight markup alternative to html. I like it because it's easy fast, easy to write, and has some great offline authoring tools (more on that in an upcoming post)
