My wife and I are at the age where our friends are having kids. So to keep friends and family updated on their kids daily activities, a majority of them maintain their own blogs. Well, as I mentioned before, Quinn (my wife) and I are expecting. That means that we need a blog to keep our friends and family updated. So, I asked Quinn to come up with some ideas for what she wanted our site to look like. She gave me some great ideas, and I put together a home page mockup in PhotoShop. When we decided on the final design, I began working on the CSS and HTML. The CMS I decided to go with is WordPress. It's pretty simple to use, and I love the functionality it provides, and the freedom you have to incorporate it into any design. The fact that it's free, and very simple to install, made for an easy decision as well. In all, I was able to purchase a domain, setup hosting, and complete the design, CSS and HTML in about 48 hours. I must say that I'm very happy with how it turned out, and equally as excited that my wife has now joined the blogosphere. So, have a look around, and enjoy.
