Moving to Disqus commenting system

After upgrading my installation to EE 2.4, which was for the most part fairly painless, I decided to move the comments to Disqus. This service includes commenting moderation and sharing tools (to Facebook, Twitter, etc), which should cover more than what is available through the native EE commenting system.

I have been using Low Spam to get rid of unwanted comments, but there were still a few...

My site now has French language and mobile version

Recent visitors to the site may have noticed a few changes. I made a few design tweaks and template loading improvements. I used SASS/SCSS to build the latest stylesheets, which is a great way to more rapidly code in CSS and even add vendor-specific CSS3 features without repeating your work too much.

Now that I have returned to beautiful Montréal, Canada, I decided to add French to the...

A glimpse of things to come

I have been hard at work over the holidays and all through January with site development and launches, as well as addon development for ExpressionEngine.

If you use ExpressionEngine for Japanese sites, I published a Japanese Language pack for the EE2 Control Panel (Github link), as well as launched Japanese kana typing (Devot:ee link), small free extension that will help Japanese writers when...

New site features

I have been making a few changes to the website, in an attempt to constantly improve its experience. I first lightened up the main gray area since it was giving out too much "gloomy rainy day" vibes to my liking. I also made subtle changes to proportions by making the site follow more closely the 960 Grid system. If by any chance you haven't been using this grid in your designs, it's a good...

This site, now fueled with ExpressionEngine 2

It's done, the site has been upgraded and is now running using ExpressionEngine 2. The upgrade went very well, aside from a few minor hiccups (note: upgrade goes better if you don't leave the "save templates as files" option on in EE 1.6.x). You may have noticed a few more changes on the site as well.

Site redesign

I guess my green phase is over. The initial design was put together very...

Changes to site design

I'm currently making some changes to the website. I haven't tested in Internet Explorer yet, so sorry if the site doesn't look too hot in that (let's be honest) simpler series of browsers. I wrote the first version of my stylesheet a bit in a hurry, as I just wanted to get up and running. Now I have the chance to go over it again and make changes. Also added some CSS3-based styling, which...

This may look simple for now…

You may have noticed that the site may look somewhat simple and empty, but I intend to add a number of items, such as this section (the blog), some ExpressionEngine plugins and extensions I am playing with/working on, various web projects, tips and tricks I find here and there, as well as probably some not-that-insightful commentaries from time to time.
