Today my son turns 17. Yesterday I was going to pick up an iPad for his present, but he said he didn’t want it. He couldn’t see himself using it much.

Mind you, he always can be seen with his iPod Touch, so it didn’t even cross my mind he’d say no.

A bad omen for Apple?

Who want to go back to the website designed for every little change?

I have just completed modifications to a website to allow the owner to take control of certain text and photo galleries. I did so using the power of WordPress.

I like designing websites using Mac software called RapidWeaver. This website was designed with that tool. Yet this page, the blog, is a WordPress blog that has been seamlessly included in the RapidWeaver project. Same template, same location. But now I have used a similar technique to seamlessly include WordPress Pages (not posts) into my websites. The owner can chage the tex and media on the page as simply as changing a blog post.

Slightly more difficult is allowing outside control of photo galleries that also match the template of the entire website. WordPress has tools for that also. Check out the product galleries at Centerpiece to see the end result.

Writing to your blog couldn’t be any easier! With an iPhone or iPod Touch, you just use a free app from WordPress to write on the go. This entry was written with the app.
