Wow. I didn’t realise it’d been a *year* since the last update! That’s a bit rubbish isn’t it?! There’s a lot of things floating around in this here head of mine that I need to get out, as well as loads of things I need to learn for work… so my hope is I can [...]
I keep forgetting to update here when I post something RedDot related to the other blog. Last week I wrote another navigation manager article, this time with a simple example of how to skip pages in the navigation, in preference for it’s child : http://www.reddotcmsblog.com/skipping-levels-in-the-navigation I’m not sure what the next one will be. I [...]
I should probably mention that my Reddot posts are now being posted over on http://www.reddotcmsblog.com rather than here; this blog will most likely be overtaken by Little Heroes designs. Yesterday I finally managed to publish the rewrite of my Foundation project articles to the other site. This post combines all the information from the three [...]
This week saw the launch of the UK site for ecomplexx (http://www.ecomplexx.co.uk). Looks pretty doesn’t it? We also have a LinkedIn company profile, should you wish to pass that on to people. Our business cards arrived yesterday as well. I think I need sunglasses to look at them they are so bright! In reality this is [...]

It made more sense to have one larger blog instead of three separate ones. So.. Go and bookmark http://www.reddotcmsblog.com while I go back to trying to figure out an irritating platformy bit in The [...]
Thanks to being dragged out of bed at some stupid time on Friday to fix a publishing problem, I was reminded of our wonderous wiki post about killing publishes. I thought it might be a good idea to write a post with all the different ways we know of saving yourself and your server.
Thanks to those side track posts, Adrian has beaten me to writing some of the articles on my list, plus a few additional ones. Now I need to think of some new ones. You all know about the “in smartEdit” and “Not in smartEdit” options you have. Adrian explains what to do when you don’t [...]
When it comes to successfully implimenting complex Flash (1) inside a Reddot project you’ve two approaches. Either you carefully explain to the client that you may not get to see it working inside smartEdit, or you get the Flash developer to make sure that they develop it in a manner that’s going to work for [...]
