A few weeks ago I asked my friend Sofee at Heart Shaped Designs if she would mind designing a site theme for RandomtTweak.

After a couple of weeks of swapping thoughts (from me) and designs (from her), I was handed a pretty smart looking final design and the component images and font specifications for me to use in creating the final HTML/CSS design. I just hope that Sofee will forgive what I've done with her design...

JediLlama - a veteran C/C++ developer and Qt guru has joined RandomTweak to share his wealth of know-how and tips for developing desktop applications.

JediLlama has been developing and supporting complex I-CMS and network applications for many years know, and I'm sure he will have lots to share in the future.

Notice a change?

Well, not only has the layout changed for the site, the backend system has been migrated from WordPress to the Drupal Content Management Framework.

WordPress is a pretty good system for publishing simple blogs, but I found that extending it to support more complex posts and site configuration wasn't all that easy. Doing a bit of research, and after playing around with a couple of other systems, I picked out Drupal.

Hi, a short introduction to the new Random Tweak website.

For quite some time now, I've been wanting to put together a site that allowed me to publish articles and tutorials on web design and development. I just haven't been able to get it together enough to do a fully featured site like that for myself, and I kept putting it off.

I have now caved in, and I will be publishing using the WordPress system (at least for the forseeable future), as I think that the content is more important than the underlying system.
