Put 10 economists in a room and ask them the same question - chances are you will likely get 11 different answers! Well It's the same for ExpressionEngine; there are many different approaches to achieve the same goal. The Low Seg2Cat extension let me do just that today, when I wanted a quick and efficient means of grabbing the Category ID from a URL.
Here we go again you say! The site has been live for about 6 weeks, and I already want to tinker with it! The main reason I am doing this is because I am not happy with the underlying code and css that the site is built on. Secondly I am wanting to tweak the design a bit; really strip back the visuals and go minimalist.....

This site was relaunched about a month ago, so it is still fairly young. Right through the development of the redesign though, there were aspects of the site that I wasn't really comfortable with; namely the mixed typography between headers and body text. So I have decided to change the main body text to Georgia from it's original Helvetica, Arial font–stack.
Tagging content is an integral part of running a blog these days. The ability to easily organize and publish collections of content through the use of tags has benefits for both the publisher and the visitor. Whilst there are a number of tagging solutions for ExpressionEngine this Express Bite will focus on the Simple Tags extension from Utilitees
Comment Spam is a curse of the modern web, and a good Comment Spam prevention tool is worth it's weight in gold. Luckily, for users of ExpressionEngine there is already a good level of protection built in to the system. However you might want to have a look at the new EE Low NoSpam Module.
Wordpress seems to get a lot of attention as a content management platform these days; particularly on the majority of web design blogs I subscribe to. As an Expression Engine developer I thought I would do my bit to promote the Content Management System I use on a day to day basis. Starting with this entry, I will regularly post articles to the journal featuring quick tips on Expression Engine. So stay tuned for more Express Bites!
So as there are only a handful of journal entries on the site to this point, I thought it would make sense to go through the kind of entries I'll be posting in the coming months...
One of the easiest tips I have come across over the last few weeks has been the ability to upload files within the browser with simple drag and drop.
Welcome to the new cameronsenior.com! It might have taken two redesigns and been postponed by various pieces of client work, but my new website is finally live! Why is it personal projects always take longer!?
After more than 6 weeks in operation, and many valuable submissions, the Standards Australia 2008 Standards HUB feedback survey has been closed. The first engagement of SurveyWise has concluded as a great success.
