Textpattern end user manual - moving on

Monday, November 27th, 2006 at 1:33 am

Hello - welcome to my website.

On my blog I write about marketing, public relations and digital communications. To keep up-to-date with my posts you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed or sign-up to receive blog posts by email.

Thanks for visiting and I hope you find my site useful.

Around two years ago I published a basic end-user manual for the Textpattern content management system. It’s been downloaded more than 2,000 times since I first released it.
At that time I was using Textpattern for my website and for several client websites. When I made the decision in 2005 to go with Textpattern it was a two-horse race - the other choice being Wordpress.

However since then I’ve watched the two systems evolve in different ways. Wordpress now offers much more functionality for running a hybrid website/blog, and is far more versatile thanks to a wealth of plug-ins.

So I’ve been moving most of my hosted sites over to Wordpress, and now I don’t have any sites running Textpattern.

That’s why I’ve decided to stop upgrading my end-user manual. I’m going to leave it on the site in case anyone still finds it useful (it refers to an old version of Textpattern), but I just don’t have the time to update it properly any more.

If anyone would like to take it on, they’re more than welcome to. Just drop me a line and I’ll happily link over to its new home!

Simon Wakeman

I've been on the web since 2001 and have been blogging about marketing and public relations since January 2006.

I'm currently Head of Marketing at Medway Council as well as a freelance marketing and PR consultant.

The content and opinions expressed on this website are not endorsed by nor reflect the views of any company or organisation I work with.

Simon’s core strengths were around being insight led, marketing and experience planning, and successful delivery. Simon led the ‘paperless credit card agreement’ strategy and agreed a solution which met the needs of all the stakeholders…the 1st solution of it’s kind at the time in the UK market and widely adopted by the industry since. Mike Beddington, Egg

Simon was energetic, focused and displayed a commercial and pragmatic approach at delivering propositions. I found he was able to deliver projects within plan through building great relationships with his team and those in other disciplines or with suppliers. Nick Kusalic, Egg
