    Rick really looks like the host of “Deal or No Deal?”

    You be the judge - I think Rick lives a double life.

    Does this outfit have anyone on staff who looks like Jessica Simpson, by any chance?

    Oh you said Jessica - bit of a coincidence though.  (With full apologies to Mike!)

    When did you open the forums Rick? As I recall, it wasn’t there from the start. In fact I think there was very limited documentation the first go I had with pMachine.

    I think the forums were in place early, but it was basically a single blog formatted to look sort of like a forum.  It wasn’t until pM 2.0 was released mid 2002 that it resembled a real forum, although it was still just a set of blogs.

    I wish i found EE long ago! It would have saved me much headache with my homepage content controlled areas as well as Contribute. Never looking back!

    I thank my stars I found the right CMS every single day. EE has been a part of my lifeblood and my job. I work with it every day at my work and it was a big struggle at first to convince stakeholders to buy into it (a whole convoluted story unto itself, “isn’t that blog software?”) but in the end EE was exactly the right choice and I also celebrate the day I joined up and made a wise decision. I built two small websites to get my head around the architecture really quickly and then leaped in with this one and everything that’s followed. I now get calls asking “what do you use?”

    I found EE when doing research on Django. I think it was the concept of custom fields that hooked me and then to find ExpressionEngine used the same thing…

    I’m 32 and nowhere near as geriatric as you lot 😊

    I first looked at EE about a year ago, and didn’t like it (which actually means ‘didn’t get it’) and decided to use Wordpress instead. Then started looking at it again towards the end of last year after reading Simon Collisons piece in the ‘Blog Solutions’ book, and never looked back - and as with Steve Hambleton, the big wow factor for me was in being able to easily build custom forms for the user to enter data with.

    I’m also 32. Physically anyway, mentally I’m still back in my teens! :lol:

    I hate to say it but some days my hair can almost resemble Marge’s…
