One of the many, many things I’ve been working on recently is the site for the Truck Festival – again another quick site (“Could you do a site for the Truck Festival for Sunday?” – asked on Friday) and again powered by Textpattern – rapidly becoming my tool of choice for almost every site I build.
Also – Welcome all you Sandvox users! Now that Sandvox has gone public I’ve noticed a surge in hits from Karelia.com, so I hope all you guys like my themes (for all of those that don’t know, Sandvox is a really nice web site creator made by the people behind Watson, and I created the Aqua, This Modern Life, Open All Night, Brown & Green, Grey Leaf, NeoNews, Rounded Blue, Simply Purple, Sunburst and Trippy Bubbles themes for it)!
Sadly though, as no doubt you are all aware Apple has rather taken the shine of the initial release of Sandvox with the announcement of iWeb – they two programs are surprisingly different when you get down to it, baring in mind they solve similar problems, but it remains to be seen whether the market is big enough for the both of them.
However, if anyone out there has made a site using Sandvox and one of my themes I’d really like to see it, so put a link in the comments of this post (I’d be most grateful!). It’s slightly strange to me as a web developer to put a lot of work into something, and then unleashing it on the world for anyone to play with – I’m very curious to see what people come up with!
I’m hoping I’ll return to slightly more frequent blogging, but I’ve got something rather large and exciting looming on the horizon that I fear will sap away at any and all free time I have… I’ll try and blog about though – stay tuned…
