EE in the Wild: Veerle’s blog 3.0 on EE 2

Veerle Pieters, designer of the new EE 2 control panel, has re-launched her popular blog with a brand new design (wow!) and it’s all powered by ExpressionEngine 2.

Veerle's new blog design

Veerle shares some of the “geeky bits” behind her relaunch, including:

     
  • Powers 9 weblogs or channels running the ExpressionEngine (v2.0 public beta)
    •  
  • Is based on 12 different HTML template pages
    •  
  • A jQuery script called Conversations for ExpressionEngine, created by Nick Kutateli, to directly quote or reply
    •  
  • An ExpressionEngine plugin called Short ‘n Tweet created by Eric Barnes to tweet my articles
    •  
  • An ExpressionEngine plugin called Word Limiter to limit the length of article excerpts

Read all of interesting tech behind the blog and then click around to view this gorgeous new design. Congrats, Veerle!
