Introducing Caboodle · Stef Lewandowski

I've been working for a while on a replacement for my personal Wordpress blog. Why? Mainly because it kept getting hacked and I'd end up unwittingly promoting various brands of viagra in the footer of every page. So I started from scratch by asking some questions: how do I want to appear online? What should a personal website be? Who is it for? So, I give you this new website and I give you Caboodle, which hopefully fulfils all 20. Caboodle is a mashup framework. It is a neat way of putting together a simple website that combines content from multiple sources in an elegant way. At the heart of Caboodle is Sinatra.
