I'm really excited to announce the release of V1 of our open source eCommerce solution called "Slatwall". It's a platform designed to seamlessly plug into Mura CMS and give an organization a complete eCommerce solution with enterprise level features and ultimate flexibility. Even though currently Slatwall is only available as a plugin for Mura CMS, we plan to release another version soon, that can be plugged into other systems as well.

Thoughts on leadership posted on our corporate blog.

UI and CSS are skills I'm not very strong at. I keep myself mostly away from it. I have worked on many Mura sites in last few months but never did anything with creating/implementing themes. I have been impressed with Mura CMS in many ways and wanted to get my hands dirty with themes, to see how easy or difficult it is to create one. At the same time I have been wanting to update the look of BlogOnRIA since the day I launched it! So, this was a perfect opportunity for me to learn theme creation in Mura by migrating this blog to Mura and implementing a new design.

The result is what you see! The migration could not have been any easier.

The Design

The first step was finding a design template that I liked. This was the hardest part. I couldn't find any thing that I completely liked so, I took concept from multiple ones, made some of my own changes and then came up with the look that you see now. I'm very happy with what I came up with.
