In the past few days we’ve been experiencing torrential downpour here in the East. When I woke up this morning and looked out the window I thought I had woken up to that part in the Wizard of Oz when the tornado wrecks havoc on Dorothy’s farm.
I also kept thinking of a line in Forrest Gump, when Tom Hanks as Forrest is trudging through the Vietnam landscape, and mentions in one his letters that there was;
Little bitty stingin’ rain… and big ol’ fat rain. Rain that flew in sideways. And sometimes rain even seemed to come straight up from underneath.

The following is a reply I sent to Brian Campbell, who contacted me in regards to my opinion of Wordpress and other CMS/blogging engines. My intention was to answer as honestly and open-ended as possible, and more importantly explain in-depth my fascination of Wordpress.

Logo design is a precious commodity for your business. Without a distinctive and appealing logo your business could garner the impression of amatuerism, and result in a loss of what would have otherwise been a successful transaction.
Companies such as UPS, Microsoft, C|Net, Adobe and OfficeMax understand this notion in logo design and as a result have instantly recognizable logos. Their intention is clear; to attach an identity and earn the respect of their consumers which retains and solidifies (in most cases) repeat service.

Since the move, I have alot of residual markup that needs a good scrubbing. Cleansing the 300-plus articles has become quite a chore in itself, mostly because when I started this site I hadn’t a grasp of valid, semantic markup which means a good percentage of sloppy code.
I was more concerned with writing the article than the markup and put the toxic waste cleanup on the backburner, which brings me to today, of which I deem Judgement Day. Considering this project is long overdue I have decided to comb through my entries — if you may — and cleanse them of erroneous, non-semantic markup.
