There are oodles of WordPress themes, and I’ve gotten the chance to play with the backend of more than a few. While I wouldn’t want anyone to go and brand on the same theme, I do like the idea of showing folks how top flight products can take hold on little more than a template. [...]

Earlier this month, I bought another year on this domain and began a third year posting here. Back in February, I had my 500th post and am just shy of my 700th now. In July, I launched the self-hosted version of this site, which has left quite a bit of Google juice over at the [...]

Still in the process of making the obvious improvements to this site since switching to this self-hosted version. You can now via e-mail, receive updates to this outlet for my professional work, experience as a young freelance writer and thoughts on what my future in news, writing and journalism might look like. Also, you can [...]

For more than eight months, NEast Philly, the online hub for Northeast Philadelphia news I introduced back in May, grew to a small, but targeted, 6,000 monthly page views, housed on a free template from WordPress.com. Finally we have broken free. Yesterday we launched the brand new redesign of our neighborhood news site for the [...]

One of the very obvious and very frustrating results of transitioning from my WordPress.com hosted professional site to this beauty is the loss of all that Google juice. While it is certainly nothing for the record books, the old version of this site was very steadily growing its traffic, at a healthy 7,259 page views [...]

Finding an audience, a focus and a voice involves place, time and circumstances. So, I knew what I’d talk about when I arrived at Hackensack University Medical Center the first week of July to see Matthew C. Sheehan, my best friend from growing up in northwest New Jersey who had long been looking for something [...]

A big obstacle for developing a respected online news startup is access. That’s why having a feature interview with the new president of the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce was another in  a continuously more consistent stream of serious, originally-reported material for Technically Philly. Rob Wonderling is losing his office in the Harrisburg State Capitol [...]

Well this is overdue. Exactly 575 days after my first post on this incarnation of ChristopherWink.com, I’ve done a massive redesign. If you’re in a feed reader, come on over and browse. There is so much left for me to do, though. A lot of usability, design and organization elements remain janky. We’ll get to [...]

It started with a call about ezLandlord Forms, an e-commerce site with meaningful traffic that was based in Philadelphia. I interviewed Kevin Kiene, the CEO and founder of the online provider of property-management legal documents with 300,000 members nationally, for a story for Technically Philly. During our conversation, I found out he was a Fox [...]
