My Sites

This page lists most of the sites that I have helped produce since I hosted my first site on the now discontinued Geocities in 1998. Nearly all of them have been produced through my work at Minervation. They use Minervation’s in-house CMS Phaedrus that I have been developing since joining them in February 2004. Late 2010 saw a definite shift toward using Wordpress for sites with more intensive blogging needs.
