Or, a tale of hubris and lack of attention to detail....

When we kicked off this project we spent a LOT of time worrying about the backend, the UI, the toolset, the future directions, etc, etc. All that necessary, dead-sexy, and boring-but important stuff.

Then we went out, grabbed a blogging component, tried it for a rigorous 20 seconds, and said, "meh."

Well, we put in our final Joomla template in preparation for the art guys to do their, er, art, and it broke the blog.

Bugger!

So we poked at it and walked around it looking all manly-like, and eventually decided we were throwing good money after bad AND taking our eyes off the ball at a critical point.

So we went out and did a rigorous 60 second perusal and installed a new blogging component. We'll pull the other posts in shortly and fix the URL changes.

But it's been a good lesson for us - even the small stuff ends up not being so small it shouldn't have been done right in the first place. Good to learn something new and not have it be too painful.
