I was asked to create the new official author profile website for author and published novelist Grant McMaster. A task I accepted with pleasure.

The website as a whole is complete, and it launched yesterday.
Some features included in the design is still inactive, as per Grant’s request. He wishes to keep things very simple for now, displaying only a clean front page, his published works page and his profile page which includes a Russian translated version.

Grant McMaster is the first non-Russian author to write a novel for the Metro 2033 franchise; Metro 2033: Britannia

I’m quite sure I will be asked to further assist with the website until all the features intended for it is active and in effect, which I of course will assist in doing.

I love Drupal. I’ve worked with it several times, and I still run a Drupal site.
Earlier today when browsing around the web, I happened to come across a discussion about Drupal, so I thought I’d go check out the latest Drupal 7 version. I headed over to drupal.org and downloaded the latest stable version.

After installing and setting it all up, I was very tempted and began thinking about maybe porting Feed The Gamer, that currently runs on Wordpress, over to Drupal. This will be one hell of a job, and not something I’m about to venture into straight away, but I might some time in the future.

The thing is: Drupal has a lot of what I need for Feed The Gamer already built in, while I have to rely on certain plugins and hacks for Wordpress to do the same. And, as those of you familiar with it, the more plugins, the more unstable a Wordpress site can get.

We’ll see what Wordpress can come up with, they might still convince me to stay with them. My main concern is the load that Wordpress can have on a server.

Don’t get me wrong, though. I still love Wordpress equally, but let’s put it like this:
I love Feed The Gamer more. 

I’m very much tempted, but I have to give this a long and hard think.
Planning will be key, and it won’t be easy.

So this is Tumblr, eh?
It seems very limiting when coming from Wordpress.

But for personal use, such as my blog it’s more than enough.
I do however miss something similar to Wordpress’ Plugin Directory, the Codex and a proper back-end.

I’ll get around to learning Tumblr’s ways soon enough, though.

And, as promised you can now find the old blog located at old.ca9ine.com
