Reading Time: 7 minutesRecently 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: 2 minutesSo, you’re hooked on the idea of using a CSS preprocessor, and you’re thinking of even managing your files in Tridion. Not a bad idea, right? But uploading those binaries into a multimedia schema isn’t as easy as it looks. So what’s a guy to do?

Reading Time: 5 minutesIn 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: 6 minutesNot too long ago, I was put on a new project at Tahzoo and I got to hear what many developers in the community (and even at Tahzoo) can only fantasize about:  “Be as cutting edge as you want.”. A coworker, Joe Shirley, and I, were given the freedom to use whatever tools, techniques, and

Reading Time: 3 minutesI 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 minutesFolks 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 minutesNot 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 minutesI’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 minutesIn  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: 10 minutesEvery CMS implementation is different, but you can generally categorize them into two major groups, regardless of the details: New site or Lift ‘n Shift. If you’re unfamiliar with the phrase “Lift and Shift”, it’s where we take an existing website, in its entirety, and move it into a CMS without modifying any front-end code.
