Reading Time: 3 minutes For the last few months, I’ve been doing a substantial amount of front-end work on SDL’s Media Manager tool. While you can find a pretty decent amount of information on Tridion via blogs and stack exchange, you won’t find much on Media Manager. Let’s start by introducing outlets.

Reading Time: 7 minutes In the last year or so, “Responsive Design” has become quite the buzzword. It’s not just industry jargon or a little article on A List Apart anymore. Project managers, business analysts, salesmen and marketing executives are tossing around the term “Responsive Design”. Heck, a year ago I was explaining the concept to an executive, and

Reading Time: 7 minutes Recently I was given a web project— but not just any type of web project. The kind we hate most. The one that’s best-labeled a “future awful idea”.  The one developers will try to kill —with fire. The kind of project with the same sad story as that Pokemon tattoo on your cousin’s lower back.  You

Reading Time: 5 minutes In a previous post that I wrote, I talked about living the web developer’s fantasy of being told, “be as cutting edge as you want”, and how Joe Shirley (a fellow Tahzooligan) and I decided to use all the nice things we could 1. Before I get in to how we used a CSS preprocessor

Reading Time: 3 minutes I recently had a client with a Media Manager license ask to have it set up to work with their cloud-based instance of Tridion 2011. Media Manager is a brand-new tool to me and I did entirely too much learning on the fly. As I was learning it, I’d asked an architect over on the

Reading Time: 4 minutes Folks that work with me know that I’m not a super-awesome programmer; I’m a front-end guy who dables with programs. I’m way more comfortable telling you what went wrong with your CSS in Internet Explorer 8 than what happened with your Razor template in Tridion 2011. Razor Mediator for Tridion is a blend of C#

Reading Time: 4 minutes Not too long ago, I worked with Alex Klock on creating a Tridion GUI extension for a client. The GUI extension was for a document embedding service provided by Crocodoc1.  Once I finished, I had to provide a training document for it. Soon after, the client wanted documentation on some other things. And then more

Reading Time: 3 minutes I’m a child of the 80’s. Every Saturday morning, between Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, X-Men, and GI-Joe I’d catch at least two or three Public Service Announcements from NBC where they’d teach me about bullying or doing my homework, and end it with, “The More You Know.” The last few Tridion 2011 projects I’ve had

Reading Time: 7 minutes In  a current project, we have a website that’s in both French and English which we’re transferring into Tridion 2011,  using Razor Mediator. This is not my first bilingual website, and it definitely isn’t my first Razor project, either. However, it’s the first time I’ve had both at the same time. So what I’d like

Reading Time: < 1 minute I just want to publicly say, “congratulations” to my fellow coworker and code-monkey, and Coded Weapon,  Alex Klock. Alex was recently given the SDL Tridion MVP Award. This is a well-earned award and Alex should be very proud to have it. The thing is, Alex is what you’d call a digital inventor. Some people go to
