In this post I give an overview of the steps involved in creating a new Mango Blog theme.
I run this site on the excellent ColdFusion blogging platform Mango Blog and I wanted something different than the standard themes provided. However, user interface design is not one of my strengths (I'm better working behind the scenes on the code) so I went on the hunt for a theme to suit my needs, and if you are reading this on my website you should see the new theme in action. It's adapted from a WordPress theme called Vigilance by Jestro who describes it as:
A lean and clean theme featuring friendly SEO optimized code.
If you are running Mango Blog and would like to use this theme on your own site you can download it here.
In a previous post I mentioned ColdFusion as my web application programming language of choice and it's never been been a better time to be a ColdFusion developer: there are good tools, mature frameworks and there's a great community who are very generous in sharing their knowledge.
So it's my time to pay a little back. Here I describe the steps I've recently taken to setup my own Virtual Private Server (VPS) to host client sites and develop my own projects. This goes right from the first step of selecting a VPS host, operating system, installing the needed packages and adding log analysis and server monitoring.
