PHP

It's taken over a year, but I'm finally proudly able to present the new version of andrewembler.com. I hope that this functions as a great showcase of how Concrete5 can be used as a blog, and the custom development that I've done to make that happen. To that end, I'm presenting a series of articles on exactly how that's happened.

Concrete5 Implementation Guide: AndrewEmbler.com

In this series I'll explore how I'm blogging, including topics like

• My editor (a customized Markdown editor block I hope to include in the marketplace for free very soon.)
• My page type and composer setup
• Responsive and custom thumbnails for posts
• My usage of custom attributes
• Customizations for pretty URLs
• Statistics customizations
• My tag and topic setup
• Instagram and twitter integration
• Conversations setup
• How I've built the righthand sidebar
• Caching and performance work
• Much more...

Let me know if you have questions about any specific aspect of the site and I'd be happy to post about it.
