The split between intro and body is pretty common across blogs and news sites. On the home or news page you show the introductions to a number of articles or news stories, then you link to the full piece on it’s own page. If this is the intro, I’ll see you in the body.
Following on from my Expression Engine Top Ten Tips Part One and Part Two, here’s a quick run down of nitty-gritty ways I like to work smarter and smoother with Expression Engine. Your mileage may vary, but they do it for me. And it’d be great for you to share your neato tips too.
We all know that fresh content keeps the visitors coming back, so it’s important that what’s new is clearly highlighted. Of course, for many of the situations you’re going to be tackling with Expression Engine, the typical reverse chronological blog structure handles this perfectly: freshest is top of the pile.
It’s me again. And as well as checking my Guest Author Instructions to see if there’s anything about not being allowed to enter competitions, I’ve been drafting some more Expression Engine tips (part one here). Read on to find out when to use weblogs, how to safely modify a live website and more.
Erm, hello… is this thing on? Right. It’s going to be a whirlwind first post, I’m afraid. I politely offered Mr Collison my services at 2.00pm, and less than an hour later I’m clutching login details in my sweaty hand, wondering what topic I should be putting pixel-to-screen about. So, how about the first part of a random rundown of top tips for my favourite web publishing system, Expression Engine? Suits you? Very good!
Attention, dear readers. It is rather hectic here at Colly Towers, what with the new job (more on that in a month) and the million things I need to get in place - not to mention all the ace new clients firing stuff at me left, right and centre. I’ll still try and throw out the odd post over the next month, but I have something special for you in the meantime.
Attention all ExpressionEngine fans. Esteemed Yorkshireman Jamie Pittock has informed me of his forthcoming online magazine all about EE.
Those of you with nothing else to read might be interested in this casual little interview I did with those nice pMachine/EE folks recently.
We came, we saw, we judged. The Expression Engine $15,000 Shootout winners have just been announced by the EE team.
Congrats to Veerle, who has today launched her new Expression Engine powered blog.
