PaleHour Blog Engine
Well this is kind of silly. I never put a post on here about the blog engine that runs this site! I call it the PaleHour engine. It is a fairly straightforward and custom blog engine. Several of my friends and family use it for their blogs. All of them come together in one location at PaleHour.com. Check out the About page for more details.

The entire thing is developed in object oriented PHP with a MySQL database back end. I decided to roll my own blog engine for two main reasons. Firstly, I just wanted to stay up on my basic web programming skills (CSS, XHTML, AJAX, PHP, etc.). Besides that, I just knew I would never be happy with one of the many blog engines out there. There would always be some level of customizing that I wouldn't be able to easily pull off.

The features of the engine are constantly changing. As new ideas are thought up, new things are implemented. Its nice to have a side project like this in the background. Any time I get that programming itch, I can dive in and tweak some things.
