The Fall 2005 online edition of Orange & Blue magazine was published last week.
Also, we launched the new Newszine site, which is now content managed by Textpattern, which I became very enamored with during the site development process. So much about how it works is just intuitive to me.

We’ve discovered that we really like using Textpattern to develop a couple of news sites that we have in the works. The first of which should go live next week.

I’m back from two weeks of vacation now and one of the first (easy) orders of business was to update the WordPress software that runs this and another soon-to-be-released “blog” here to the new 2.0 version that was released over the weekend.
