Back to Blogging

Relates to Blogging

So, back to blogging as normal…? Well not quite. For a start I now have numerous blogs I am maintaining. It seems simpler to keep different fields of interest separate and this allows me to experiment a bit with the different blogging solutions out there so I can make valuable recommendations to clients and colleagues when they are considering a blog of their own.

Currently TWBlog is still powered by my home-grown and hand-rolled solution which was first developed back in 2003 when this weblog came into existence. That PHP solution gradually evolved into a full blown module based content management system and now forms an integral part of most contracts I work on, while it is still more than adequate for maintaining a simple blog as this is.

However some things have changed in the last 2 years and one of those is the never-ending evolution of comment spam. This is where the open-source solutions such as Wordpress come into their own and one reason I chose to use alternative solutions for some of my other blogs. The CMS behind TWBlog is not equipped currently to handle such an infestation and hence there will be no facility to post comments directly on this site.

Anyway, this was just a quick re-introduction to my blogging software - as much for me using it as for anyone still out there reading my entries. All for now.
