A New Beginning
I'm no good at introductions, but I feel like my first post needs to accomplish something, so here we go, a brief introduction to me and the site.
All About Me
I'm Kyle Slattery, a college student and freelance web developer and designer. Technology and the internet have always been interests of mine, and I love being able to do something I enjoy for a job. You can see some of the work I've done in my portfolio, and I also hope to be able to showcase my work through this blog as well. At some point, I'll write up a complete bio, and put it in my about section, but for now, this will have to do
The Site
First things first, yes, I realize I am a web designer, yet I'm using an existing WordPress template. I really wanted to get this site up, so I haven't yet had the time to put together a design. I'm also planning on coding my own content management system for the site (more on this later), and I'll likely want to redesign the site when I do that anyways.
My plans for this site are pretty simple: I want a place to communicate my thoughts on web development and design and also somewhere to post various helpful tips I've found throughout my web adventures. Right now the site is powered by WordPress 2.5, but I'm planning on writing my own content management system with Ruby on Rails. Posts about this process will likely take up a lot of the space on this site, as I think documenting my trials and tribulations could be helpful to other developers out there.
I don't really have much more to say than that, as my posts will hopefully speak for themselves. Enjoy!
