  • Texpattern public beta

    In my continuing but insane effort to download and install just about every blog or thin-CMS tool I can find, I’ve got Dean Allen‘s Textpattern up and running on my server. For the moment, I’m using it for a dummy blog currently called x-ism. It’s not all working yet, and I’m still getting the hang…

  • administrivia: New Blogrolls
