Colophon
Dougist is run on a self hosted install of WordPress. Here is the Site Map and the Change Log.
Most of the content is (now) written in Markdown, and MultiMarkdown.
Design began with the Durable v0.2 theme by Andy Peatling which has been heavily modified over the years. Mobile page design and plug in is provided by Crowed Favorites.
The site is hosted by WebHostingPad. Feeds are transmitted to tumblr, twitter, and facebook.
Site engineering is done by the indispensable GirlSonic (with whom I could not live without).

- Unplugged backup – 3×5 cards (any kind will do)
- My day to day money manager PocketMoney for the iPhone and desktop
Commerce and Capitalism
- I run a single AdSense ad on my home page and on article pages, graphics only because the text one are too gross. I live for the day that I can run ads from The Deck, or Fusion any other non-google agency.
- I do not run adds on Dougist notes (tumblr) and I’m not really sure why.
- I link to a lot of sites. None of them are pay-for click, or sponsored links.
- All of this vaguely defers the cost of keeping the site up, but the funny thing is I’d do it for free anyway.
