WordPress, the publishing platform we're using -- not only for this site, but also for mine and my girl's -- does it again. An interesting story about how WordPress is being used to build City of Albert Lea website. That's right, it is using WordPress 2.7.

First, we're helping Hanzky -- hey, congratulation for the new baby! -- upgrading the server and also the forum. All processes were done without major problems. After having a discussion, Fashionese Daily came into decision to upgrade the server. It has more RAM now. After the upgrades, the website (especially the forum) run smoothly even on peak hours. Anyway, according to vBulletin forum statistics, there were 541 online users.

Last month, there is a new mass transportation model launched in Yogyakarta. It's Trans Jogja. Right now, we will not go further writing about how this i-think-good-solution works. We would like to share about how we built the website. :)

Akhir pekan lalu, Orangescale membantu migrasi forum Fashionese Daily dari aplikasi MyBulletinBoard (MyBB) ke aplikasi forum vBulletin. Proses ini sebagai tindak lanjut bahwa forum yang sebelumnya digunakan dirasa kurang memadai dengan makin berkembangnya komunitas Fashionese Daily.

A-not-easy-to-answer question. Seriuosly. But, if we have to answer that question, there are two blogging platforms come to our mind: WordPress and Movable Type. Not only because those are our favorite platforms, but also those are platforms we're familiar with.

Few days ago, I applied a new design for Orangescale Studio website. So, if you read our Juicy Blog from RSS readers, I would like to invite you to see our new design. So, what's new here?
