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: 2 minutesA friend of mine asked me to come over and take a look at his WiFi situation. With him being a different flavor of nerd than I, I was happy to oblige. Everything went fine right up until we were trying to get his Samsung Blu-Ray player on his WiFi. And then I discovered something

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 minutesSo, I was helping out a fellow coworker with a JavaScript issue where we were trying to figure out if there was a property somewhere that could tell us what the referring window was.

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

This lil’ gem originates from Microsoft, of all places, and has been there since IE5.5.  Well, the other browsers caught on a while back, and others, including myself, have demonstrated some cool techniques with

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: 2 minutesIt’s probably not the most exciting thing that you could read about, but it’s definitely one of the cooler ones. If you haven’t heard of Crocodoc, you really should check it out.  Crocodoc is an API that converts PDF and Microsoft Office Documents to HTML5. If that still doesn’t quite ring clear, allow me to

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
