So, I finally decided to take the time to update my website to the ExpressionEngine 2.0 Beta.
This means that some of my stuff is going to be broken, but I can live with that. Going to improve how things are done and use better components this way. But the transition had a couple of small hiccups…
So Expression Engine is previewing version 1.6 (filled with LOADS of new features) and it is also EE CEO Rick Ellis' Birthday. To celebrate this and some new software, they are having a photoshop contest that ends noon Tuesday June 19th, 2007. Check out the forums here for the other submissions. Here is the original blog post.
Without further adieu here are my entries.

Upon redesigning this website, I decided I wanted to do a little more with the front page. The first thing that I wanted to accomplish besides a new look was removing entire posts from the front page and just having short snippets of each post so that there would be less scrolling and a reason to view the entry/comments page.
ExpressionEngine has a built in word limiter function that can be used on template tags that produce words. My immediate problem with using the word limiter is that it would cut off paragraphs without closing the paragraph tag. I also show a lot of code within pre tags and those not being closed screwed up the entire page layout.
