Agile Artisans is Live! (May 11)
I decided to switch over my jaredrichardson.net domain to a more official corporate entity late last year, but between client commitments, starting an Agile user group, touring on the No Fluff tour, and just life, it's taken me a while to to get this site rolling. But moving forward, AgileArtisans.com is my new web home. The content on JaredRichardson.net isn't going anywhere... it's got some great search engine placement in several categories, but I'm not planning on much regular activity over there.

This site is a Rails application, and I'm opening sourcing it very soon. I've already got a project on Ruby Forge named MOP CMS but the source isn't there quite yet. It's got some blogging functionality and some content management bits as well. Radiant couldn't quite do what I wanted, neither could Mephisto, so I followed in the grand Rails tradition of writing my own. :)

Out of the box MOP will have a basic blog and several tabs of content, but it'll have a different theme than my web site. Both look really good I think.

The graphic design work on this site was done by Russhe Riemer at Clementine Design. She did a great job. Thanks Russhe! ;)

The open source version will use a template from Open Web Design. I basically copied what Zed did with the Mongrel site. The template I chose was called, appropriately enough, Internet Sharing. It seems to fit somehow. :)
