I hadn’t looked at this particular stat in some time, but today I noticed that according to WordPress, my site’s platform, I’ve published 555 posts. Cool! This post makes 556, and we can call it my little pat on the back. I’ll let you know when I hit 1,000. I’ll probably have a little party then.

Hurrah!!! ComeAcross is alive!
ComeAcross is live and well, thanks to a few days of feverish work! I am deeply grateful to my beautiful wife, for helping me sort through all of the content and helping me link and categorize it! Love ya, sweetie! 😉
Those of you wondering why I’m calling this site new when it’s chock full of content, take a peek at this. This is, indeed a brand new site, in many, wonderful ways! So put on a propeller beanie, folks, and sing for joy, because our new, “free for all to use and enjoy” site is up and running! Okay, if you won’t put on the beanie, I won’t mind, but at least belt out a couple of verses from your favorite song. Come on, do it like you’re in the shower!
Here on ComeAcross, you’ll find all sorts of interesting information such as “Pigs in a Polka“, all categorized, searchable, and updated regularly with new, “fresh as the spring air” content. As a matter of fact, I’d be tickled pink if you thought of this site as a source of information from now on, and came back often to see what’s cooking!
➡ Updated 2/17/08: I’ve changed my site’s name to my own since I published this. This site could initially be found at comeacross.info. It is now found at raoulpop.com, which is where you are right now.
This site has been a labor of love for me, and it represents the culmination of years of publishing articles and other information on the web, for various of my sites. I was finally able to put together a great site with a single, large collection of content, where users can interact with each other and discuss the topics presented, thanks to a wonderful CMS/platform called WordPress. It would have taken me several months of coding to get this site going without WordPress, so the amazing capabilities of this platform can’t be underestimated.
Please, pull up a chair and enjoy! If you like it, spread the word! If you don’t, still spread the word, maybe others will! 🙂
Thanks!
Just designed two new websites
My wife teaches piano lessons to children and adults, and has also started to do primer music camps for children, so I designed two websites for her. The first is Fun Piano Lessons and the other is Fun Music Camps.
I want to point them out because I’m using the WordPress CMS to drive the sites, yet you won’t be able to tell that at first look. I designed completely custom templates for each that hide the usual WordPress functionality, so the sites look like normal websites, yet everything on them can be updated on the fly. Of course, I used pure CSS to drive the layout, styles, colors and graphics.
The other cool thing is that it only took me a day to do each site. That’s the power of leveraging the WordPress CMS platform! One can focus on the design aspects and the content, and leave the back end to WordPress. Why reinvent the wheel, right?
Automattic takes funding
Automattic, the makers of WordPress (blogging/content management system) which I use and LOVE, are going through a round of funding. I wonder what they’ll come up with? See link for details.
