I’ve adopted the 100e2r standard for montykaplan.com. This should make the site more accessible. Feedback?

Resume / Curriculum Vitae Posted

monty — Thu, 02 Aug 2007 15:52:53 +0000

I managed to update both my site and my CV at the same time yesterday, check it out here. I also added some Google AdSense advertisements to the site, in order to generate revenue to cover hosting and domain registration. Next up would be my photos/art and some writing.

Reykjavik and London

monty — Sun, 04 Mar 2007 15:55:16 +0000

I slept in Reykjavik - best souvenir, Icelandair blanket.

London has been intense. Life is fast paced, or slow - depending on the weather. The food has been good, and I am enjoying the local sights and sounds. Photos galore.

Cheers,

Google Index Update, Configuring a Form, Upcoming Content

monty — Wed, 28 Feb 2007 10:48:42 +0000

Google just indexed MontyKaplan.com

This blog has been indexed for over a week, but it’s nice to have the .com come up number one when you put my full name into Google.

Also - I have added a comment submission form on the index page (for now). Since I don’t currently have any content up I am hoping people will keep themselves entertained through the blog and by using the form to ask me questions.

Upcoming (next month or so) content (still working on the management system):

my resume
photography/art galleries
project blogs/pages
personal photo galleries

Hosting, Content Management Systems

monty — Sat, 17 Feb 2007 18:47:51 +0000

My hosting issues have been resolved - turns out changing name servers takes a couple of days to go into effect.

As for choosing a content managment system - I believe I am sticking with WordPress for my blog.

For the rest of the site, I am test driving the other options available and seeing which one fits my style best.

So far I’ve tried Mambo and Drupal, and I believe I have ruled Drupal out and Mambo a maybe.

See ya soon,

Working with Surpass Hosting

monty — Sat, 17 Feb 2007 06:58:24 +0000

I am working with my web host provider to figure out what has been going on. It has been a highly positive experience thus far, as they have been working non-stop to make sure I am satisfied with the service. I am. Today Wordpress is working, I am very excited and look forward to the future of montykaplan.com.

Best,
Monty
