If you’re hoping to read anything about ExpressionEngine 2.0 Beta then move on. I’ve managed to download it and that’s about all. I’m not even sure if their NDA lets me say that much. Ha!

One of the problems I have with ExpressionEngine is that it is such a fire-and-forget system that every time I build a site in it—or decide to redesign one—I am starting from scratch and by the time I am done I’ve learned so much that I want to start over. I do not have this kind of time. This is a strength of the software and my weakness. If I was a full-time developer I know this is the system I’d want to go with. Even as a dabbler it’s what I choose to use. I prefer to use the best tool for the job even if I don’t know how to use all the functions of the tool.

I can’t wait to set up a site in ExpressionEngine 2.0 Beta. I have a project that has been languishing for a while now. It’s time to go beat on it.
