Fellow Yahoo! intern Richard Crowley takes a look at the Mozilla XUL-based Songbird music player. I did a little mini review of Songbird several months ago, but it seems to have matured in the Mac release. Did I mention he custom-coded the entire backend of his site? No WordPress or Movable Type in sight.
PaulStamatiou.com runs on the Thesis Theme for WordPress
Thesis is the search engine optimized WordPress theme of choice for serious online publishers. If you’re a blogger who doesn’t understand a lot of PHP, Thesis will give a ton of functionality without having to alter any code. For the advanced, Thesis has incredible customization possibilities via Thesis hooks.
With so many design options, you can use the template over and over and never have it look like the same site. The theme is robust and flexible enough not only to accommodate a site like PaulStamatiou.com, but also to enable the site to run far more efficiently than it ever has before.
I used the Scribe WordPress plugin and service to optimize this blog post for SEO.
