After being burned and deciding to never again touch the unholy fire that is Joomla, I still find myself in the need of crating CMS solutions for people. They’re perfect for small businesses or groups. In this case, I’m starting a new web project for my band.

We’ve become quite a bit more successful lately, and we really need to get to work on getting our online presence shored up. It’s just a bit embarrassing being a web developer with such a poor site. No matter how much the technically-challenged spout, facebook and myspace just don’t cut it.

Since I don’t have all that much time, I’m going to be working with Wordpress. And since I’ve wanted to use it for some time, the Blueprint CSS framework. It’ll also give me a chance to try a few of the more popular plugins and try some SEO techniques I want to experiment with.

In the past, I haven’t been the biggest fan of the Wordpress code base, but I have to say that I’ve always liked the way that it works. I’ll be mucking about a bit more in the code itself in the near future. Hopefully I’m pleasantly surprised.

I’ll let you know how it goes.
