Finally, after a lot of hard work, we are ready to present unto you the official Smiling Plants web site. As you can see, we have this awesome and beautifully designed blog and we have a web publishing system for the rest of the site.
Actually at the time of writing, everything isn't exactly finished, but we want some text on the site before we launch it :)
We also have some awesome features on the site that you might like if you, like me, are a programmer. Like syntax coloring for code in a wide variety of languages. So if I need to set some young whippersnapper right here on the blog, you can be sure that it'll be done in syntax colored goodness :) How do we get all these fancy features? I'll let you in on a little secret. We use a framework called Symfony and an ORM called Doctrine. They allow for rapid development, and there are already plenty of fancy plugins it. The syntax coloration for example comes from sfGeshi, and the publishing system is an as of yet unreleased Doctrine port of sfSimpleCMSPlugin, made by yours truly.
Of course, you might still have questions to ask, like "Hey, mister, then why did the site take so long to complete?"
If you were to ask that question, you could be certain that the answer would be something like "Well, young lad, it's because I've mostly been working with our first big project, Béchamel, which you'll be seeing a lot more of soon, and we figured that there's not really any point in having a web page with pretty much no relevant content on it."
