Magzalez’s eyes on media

A fresh look at the state of online media today

Magzalez redesign starting to take shape

with 2 comments

I’ve been working on making a static XHTML/CSS version of the PhotoShop file of the site redesign. Everything is going pretty well. I have been able to adhere to the 960px grid system that I designed it on with success, and I haven’t had to unwillingly concede any part of the design so far.

The real stumper is as the rat race of templating and tweaking the CSS winds down, I am faced with the dilemma of choosing between WordPress – what I am using now – and TextPattern – what I am using on Cooking Matt. I will have to discuss this with some people. Each have their pros and cons. I already had one vote for TextPattern.

Catch the reference?

  2. Using WordPress seems more useful, that is, honing in on my straight php would be more useful, but TextPattern makes a point of making some of the things I want to do easy – featured videos/photos, multiple sections, semi-static pages, includes, forms, etc.

    But again, I can tell someone I can do WP and PHP and have them know what I’m talking about, on the other hand I get a lot of WTFs when I tell people about txp.
