Textpattern Solutions Authors Interview

Andrea Schwandt-Arbogast recently interviewed all of the authors of Textpattern Solutions. The full interview, Why Textpattern? can be found in this week’s edition of Digital Web Magazine.

Part of my answer to the question – Why Textpattern? – was used as a lead in to the article:

When I first found Textpattern and installed an early gamma release, I was immediately comfortable working with it. The logical separation of content from presentation made it easy to understand how to begin building sites. As I come from a development rather than design background, within a few days of installing Textpattern, I was tinkering with the plugin framework and extending Textpattern where I needed.

The interview adds some personal background and insight by the authors of Textpattern Solutions and is definitely worth a read.

Who are you and what are you doing here?

After giving the site a sorely needed make over earlier in the week, its time to pay some attention to the content.

So help me out by letting me know who you are and why you’ve ended up here. And what would you like to see at wilshire|one in the future?

A new dawn

Its been a long time coming but the old leafy design is finally no more. After several months of work and a hand from a talented designer couple in Italy, the new design is as ready as ever to be launched. You’ll still see some changes continuing on over the next few days but the bulk of the work is done and there’s no sense in procrastinating any longer.

All of the illustrations and layout for the site were created by Brian and Claudia of Mestolando fame. This is now our 3rd collaboration together (with Mestolando being the first and Popular Wedding Favors being the second) and continues to build on what is turning out to be a successful partnership.

I’m off to continue updating the site but let me know if anything looks off. And if you’re browsing using your feed reader, be sure to click through and let me know how things look.
