Paul’s new blog
I would like to welcome Paul Budde’s new blog site to the internet.
For a very long time, Paul has been effectively “blogging” about the Telecommunications industry via his main web site - long before the term “blogging” had surfaced. The only real difference being the format and technology the content was delivered via. BuddeComm always had a section containing Paul’s latest thoughts and analysis known as “From Paul’s Desk”. From Paul’s Desk was simply a static HTML page generated nightly by a custom automated tool, which later archived older posts into PDF format - made available for download. But underneath, it was always essentially a blog with blogger style content.
From Paul’s Desk was quite effective early on and attracted a lot of regular readers. However, in more recent times, the limitations and rigidity of the simple “From Paul’s Desk” system were beginning to place a burden around the sought-after content.
Wordpress was ideal for meeting the changing needs of Paul’s blog as it is so easy to use for non-technical content editors, while also being highly configurable with a plethora of plugins available. So I developed BuddeBlog as a customised version of Wordpress with some modern CSS-based round cornered navigation tabs - they scale perfectly when you play with CTRL mouse-scroll-wheel.
