Good News Garage Site Launch

Good News GarageAfter a pretty relentless week, we launched a new website for Good News Garage, a New England non-profit which takes automobiles as donations, fixes them, and then gives them to low-income families for work transportation.

Especially nice is the homepage Flash animation by Corey.

First Post

Those of you who have been holding their breath, waiting for me to update my site, can finally relax. I’ve started over on Dreamhost (a kickass $7.95/month hosting service) and based the site on WordPress. The plan is to have WordPress handle the common tasks of updating page content and news, giving me more time to work on other projects on the site.

I’m starting off with the following WordPress plug-ins:

  • CaptCha! - for comment spam blocking
  • inlineRSS - to quickly add feeds
  • last.fm recent tracks - until I can write some code to cache my tracks in MySQL and display them grouped into albums
  • Search Pages - to allow the search functionality to work site-wide and not just on blog entries
  • Spelling Checker - adds aspell spell-checking to blog entries

If you can recommend any other useful plug-ins, please leave a comment.
