I can't express how happy I am that we finally finished version 1.0 of the ExploreCharleston website. We've spent the better part of 5 months designing it. I coded the entire website from scratch in PHP, while Steven helped with the text and review content. There are still a number of areas I want to create, but those will be added slowly over the coming months.
I think it was extremely important to get the bulk of the content up during Fall/Winter, so the search engines will index everything before the Spring/Summer travel season.
I can now bring my focus back to GridEpsilon.com for a while. There are number of things I learned while creating the Charleston website. I want to bring many of those elements to this website.

New Website: Explore Charleston
Our new website, ExploreCharleston.net is now live! It's taken 5 months in development and you could say that it was 4 years in the making.
ExploreCharleston.net offers approximately 80 Charleston area attraction reviews that include restaurants, historic homes, civil war sites, beaches, and more. It also features a large photo gallery and discussion forum.

PHP & MySQL Fun
I still can't believe how much fun I've had designing this website from scratch. It's been over 10 years since I did any real coding at this level. PHP and MySQL have been a blast to work with.
Generally when I'm at home I don't like to do any kind of low level computer related work, because it soon feels like I've never actually left work. I think I've finally found the right level that I'm comfortable with as far as the amount time and learning involved.

Shuttle Endeavor Lands Safely
I was extremely happy to see the Shuttle Endeavor land safely in Florida. I didn't completely trust the review NASA performed on the damaged heat tiles.

The Blog
I have decided to create an area where I can post comments on current events or anything that might come to mind. I don't expect to be posting very often, but I now have a place to do so.
