What is AlexGladd.com About?

My goal for this website is to use it as a tool for collecting and sharing all pertinent aspects of my professional development. I will post news and comments related to the software and web development industries, as well as personal anecdotes about experiences within my own career.

A Little History

I’m building this website primarily to fill a need to have some sort of professional face on the net. Sure, I have old websites that I built in high school and college, but I no longer felt that they represented me as a career-oriented Software Engineer. I had also been out of the web-design/development scene for about three years, so I felt like I needed to do something to re-educate myself.

After deciding to dive into this venture, I upgraded to a fabulous new hosting provider that gave me access to many more “goodies” than my old one. I knew right from the beginning that I wanted to give WordPress a try, so I installed the latest version to a non-production location and began to experiment. About a month later, after much tinkering and an exhaustive effort to find a theme that suited my needs, I present you with AlexGladd.com.
