How Was This Site Built?

A natural question when you look at a site might be, “how did they build that”? Here are the top-line technologies involved in this site:
- Ruby on Rails
- Haml Template Language
- Sass Stylesheets
- rSpec Behavior Driven Development Tool
- MySQL Database
- Apache Web Server
- Pound Load Balancer (may change this at some point)
- Mongrel Rails HTTP Server
That’s it in a nutshell. All page content is dynamically created, so site updates don’t require putting new code on the server. The blog is homespun because “we could.” Besides, the blog got me motivated enough to create a Rails patch to make ActionMailer and Haml play nicely together.
