Obligatory, Unrecommended "Why I Haven't Been Posting" Blog Post
posted Mar 14, 2010 at 11:41:42 AM by Doug Gibson.
After many years of not updating my personal site, I finally relaunched this site as a home grown blog in 2008 when I had some time on my hands after being laid off from my job. For about a year I faithfully updated this blog a couple times a month.
I'm quite happy to see that my blog posts have been helpful to people. My "CSS: Overcoming 'background: transparent' In IE" has been read more than 10,000 times and I've seen it quoted on random forums in response to people encountering this particularly annoying issue with Internet Explorer.
...And then the project from hell hit and I was pressed for time to do anything for six months. Here we are almost a year since my last post.
To be honest, this blog has always taken a back seat to my main site, Metal Underground.com, and it always will. Metalunderground.com is my creative outlet on so many levels and has the potential to grow beyond anything I initially imagined.
That said, I've had more opportunities at work to explore the front end of web development once again as well as work with different frameworks and CMSes. I've got a bunch of draft blog posts built up here and hope to return to exploring and discussing web development from front end to the Coldfusion back end stuff soon.
I'll be back.
