I've been asked about my essays section on the right-side navigation menu, and I've got an answer, in case anybody else was wondering. It's all kind of technologically mumbo jump, but the short of it is that it's difficult to maintain. The blog-portions of my website (the main page and the projects pages) are very easy for me to update. I do it via XML through email, and it's really quite a fantastic solution for getting the site updated very quickly.
The essays currently must be maintained manually. As in, I haven't yet built an elegant solution for essay submission, and until I do, I don't feel like spending a ton of time per essay I write and upload. So... there you go. But now that it's been brought up, I'll come up with some ideas to make essay writing a bit easier. This site is constantly being redone and reworked, and is becoming easier and easier for me to upload content, which is really the objective.
I think that after I get a good handle on the essay management portion of this site, I want to come up with a good image/file uploader. That'll be pretty sweet.
