In these next two posts, we’ll take a break from the SilverSmith stuff and talk about what I’ve been doing in the time I haven’t been working on that major project.

I’m really excited to share it with the community and get some feedback.
I’m happy to announce the release of two awesome new modules: Uploadify and Postale.
