New Site Name
The old site name was Steve JB's Drupalized Website. The reason for having Drupal in the name is because I was trying out multiple website platforms in early 2007 and the Drupal CMS was the best one I found. I kept the name 'Steve JB's Drupalized Website' so that site visitors who know about Drupal could recognize that the platform the site is running on is Drupal.
I don't plan to ever change from the Drupal platform atleast as long as the site is self hosted. Drupal's ability to seamlessly combine an SEO optimized blog and a wiki, fits my needs just fine. Some of the Drupal community members are working towards getting an awesome forum module so that's a bonus for keeping Drupal in the long run. Having http://www.whitehouse.gov/ running on a heavily customized Drupal and my own site on Drupal too is a boon.
I've also provided Drupal related services (installation, configuration and design conversion) for a significant number of websites hence having Drupal in the name of my website assured site visitors that I knew what I was doing with Drupal. I haven't done much blogging about Drupal as Drupal services was more of a part time pursuit until I was able to pursude full time, dedicated work which happened in Early November 2009. While I was providing Drupal services, I also provided similar Wordpress services and light weight CMS related site building, configuration and design related services as well
As I'm pursuing more than Drupal specific services, I've changed my site title to Steve JB Brand Experience Designer. While my core strength is interaction design, I also combine brand identity and consider the type of experience users are looking for and are comfortable with when they use an application, product or service. I also consider situations where customers or consumers are exposed to a brand or a similar entity.
