Old clients become new clients. Joan and Jim Spaulding, owners of James Gang Coffeehouse & Eatery, have opened another location in Northfield called James Gang HideAway.
I created their coffeehouse site two years ago using Blogger and NetObjects Fusion so when this new store opened, we took the opportunity to revamp the old and combine it with the new. Rather than creating two sites, we just registered another domain and aliased to the original.
I installed WordPress with the excellent 3-column, widget-ready Tiga theme by Shamsul Azhar. It recently won “Best 3 column theme” in a WordPress 2.0 theme competition. This theme includes a very handy Tirarator addition to the Word Press presentation menu which “… allows you to configure some variables to suit your blog.” Very cool. I sent Shamsul a donation for his work, as I plan to use the theme for other clients.
Craig Stroeing, above right, is the HideAway manager, and today I trained him on all aspects of maintaining the website and weblog.
