For quite sometime I've wanted to redo my blog. For the past few years I've been using Wordpress which is a great CMS system for blogs and the like, but I've been getting more and more frustrated by Wordpress in terms of its customization. Of course there are plenty of ways to customize Wordpress themes, plugins, widgets, etc., but it was really the themes that were driving me crazy. Themes that I liked were often hard to modify with out a deep knowledge of CSS.
So after asking quite a few people on Twitter about options a number of people suggested checking out squarespace.com. I did and love it! The site you're on now is published via the squarespace platform. Obviously, there are some things I'm still working on but overall I like the new look as well as the back-end tools much better than I liked messing with Wordpress all the time.
My goal is to be much more interactive with this blog. On this main page my plan is to post bi-weekly about various topics that are of interest to me and hopefully you too.
Here's a quick breakdown of the site:
- Books and Training - you'll find more information about my training products that I've done and products that I'm currently working on.
- Conferences and Speaking - you'll find out about upcoming conferences and other speaking gigs I've done as well as download presentations.
- Color - I plan on posting weekly tips and tricks about Apple Color and links to other great articles about color correction and grading.
- RC & The Magic One - this is my musical scratch pad, full of songs that I write, produce and record in my home project studio.
- About - you can find out a little more about me as well as find my current C.V.
- Contact - if you have questions or comments please use this contact form.
Thanks!
Robbie
P.S. Previous blog posts that I've made using Wordpress haven't been moved over to Squarespace. If you're looking for something old let me know... I have a feeling that it was info that didn't really matter.
