It’s important to me to keep a clear separation from the work I do for the government and the work I do on my own.

Documenting the content management systems I’ve used over the years.

After 12 years in business I closed Brettrospective Media’s virtual doors in mid-2017.

As I rekindled my blog I realized its custom theme hadn’t been touched in nearly seven years so as I design and develop the new one I plan to document my decisions and the things I learn here.

With an already demanding full-time job, I was burning the candle at both ends trying to meet the needs of my clients and the demands of my job and in early 2013 I burnt out.

Because I was already using ExpressionEngine on a daily basis, I felt that I needed to use WordPress on a website that I would also work with daily so that I would become equally as familiar with it. And so I chose WordPress to be the CMS for brettro.com.

Learn how integrating the Subversion (SVN) version control system into the Brettro workflow both formalized and streamlined its website production.

Brettro outlines the main differences in skill sets required between web designers and graphic designers, but wants you to weigh in.

Yep. While it did not take an actual nine months to develop the design, write the code and move the content into WordPress, the Brettro website always took a back seat to both my client work and my full-time job.
