It's Not Pretty Being This Easy

Setting up Radiant CMS on Heroku wasn’t the cakewalk that most other PHP-based blog/CMS solutions are, but now that it’s all set up, it actually fits my style perfectly.

First, let’s address one thing. Yes I know the site is ugly. I’m not a designer. Maybe I’ll find a good looking photo and post it up as the header.

The current setup allows me to make local blog changes and then do a push onto the Heroku server via the command-line via a simple heroku db:push to replicate the contents of the database. If I decide to make structural changes, especially with plugins, then the whole thing is a git repository as well. All this to keep my life completely PHP free.

My goal for the site is to jot down ideas and thoughts regarding coding, including weird edge cases I come across in my job as a developer.
