Back a million years ago, I wrote about using Ajax to allow visitors to search my site. When I ported the Web site from MovableType to WordPress, I had to give up this feature because I didn’t know PHP or WordPress well enough to make it work.
I’ve been working on a PHP-based Web site for my employer — tying together WordPress and Vanilla under an SSO umbrella — and I’m impressed by how awful the PHP language is.
I’ve been meaning to write recently, however life has been conspiring to keep me mute. There’s still on-going problems with The Bean and now work has heated up and I’ve been recruited to design our new customer-facing Web site as well as provide some UI design ideas for an entirely new product. Then there’s the next version of BridgeBuilder to think about and all the UI challenges that will bring.
