Citizen Media Meets Mainstream Media on SanAntonioNews.com

Recently rolled out alpha version .04 of , an experimental local news site. This version of the site takes the learned in alpha version .03 and plugs them into an open source publishing platform. I chose as the platform for this version mainly to see how it holds up as a lightweight . So far so good.

For the template and , I started with the and modified from there. Even though the modifications made to the original design were somewhat significant, many thanks are in order to the author of the Quadruplets theme for sharing his work. There currently seems to be pretty slim pickings to choose from out there as far as four column WordPress templates go. His work proved to be a very helpful starting point.

On a related note, if you think you might be outgrowing your blogging platform and are thinking about a more robust CMS, take a look at , a site that lets you try out many CMS platforms in one place. OpenSourceCMS.com isn’t related to the , which is an interesting JAVA XML based open source Content Management System.

Comment on How To Customize QR Codes With Your Brand’s Identity by Sage
The LV code worked but only when I stepped about 3 feet back so that it was very small on my screen. Then finally the QR scanner (Red Laser Classic on iPhone 4) read it correctly. My guess is that the image is too big and once it gets shrunk down enough, some of the interfering features become ambiguous. - Comment left on 12/11/2011.
