Dude, can we talk geek for a minute?
Of course.
The Capital Morgenpost started out in late 2002 as a weblog called Arnold and other DC incidents
; a tool to keep my friends and family in Germany informed about what's happening to me in the US. It still serves that purpose well, from what I hear. I have since tacked on a few extra pages and redesigned twice, but its purpose is still somewhat the same: Provide moderate entertainment about a European's life in the USA.
The Capital Morgenpost is hosted by domainfactory GmbH in Bavaria/Germany. All has been done to ensure utmost standards compliance of its markup and CSS. To be exact, the hypertext language of my choice is XHTML 1.1. For those of you who are interested, I have explained some of my dealings with its draconian strictness when first implemented it a few years ago.
MT provides the backend engine for this publication. The current version being used is 3.33. Thanks to this superb piece of software, maintaining this site is a snap. Somewhat.
In developing The Capital Morgenpost, its text and its graphics, my operating system of choice is Linux. Gentoo Linux, to be exact. Markup, CSS and some occasional PHP snippets have been whipped up with Quanta. All graphics have been prepared courtesy of a certain Gimp. My local test server is an Apache.
The Capital Morgenpost newsstand uses imported wallpaper featured by the crafty folks at www.k10k.net.
You asked.
