About RoughlyDrafted Magazine

I’m Daniel Eran, and I write about technology, Apple, motorcycles and the place I call home: San Francisco. This is a work in progress. I’ve done RoughlyDrafted for a few years, but my site was so much work that it kept me from writing. I’m attempting to simplify things using iWeb.

How RD Gets Built

Since June 2006, I’ve been using iWeb to publish this site. After publishing, I use HexMonkey Software’s free and highly recommended search and replace tool MassReplaceIt to inject special HTML and Javascripts to support comments and trackback features using Haloscan, links to community sites, search, affiliate links, web stats, and other features iWeb does not natively support.
