21apples is powered by a number of interesting technologies. I felt strongly that I should use all open source and/or free tools. I also wanted to use tools that represented the new direction of the web, Web 2.0. I originally chose Ruby on Rails, a spectacular web framework (watch this movie to see what it can do). For the blog software I chose a relative youngster Typo because of its close ties to emerging web standards/technologies. I have since migrated to Wordpress (what you currently are looking at).
web server: Apache
blog engine: Wordpress
database: MySQL
links management: del.icio.us
I am constantly playing around with the look of this site. Current theme: Floristica 1.22 by AOE Media.
All of this is hosted by the good folks at Site5. I highly recommend them. The price is right, and the features rock.
