Xperience by Kentico is Here

I'm excited to release a new version of my blog, completely re-architected for Kentico's new next generation platform, Xperience by Kentico. In case you hadn't heard, Kentico launched the first full version of Xperience a week ago to the public. I have been lucky enough to be taking Xperience for a test ride for the last 10 months or so. I've seen the product progress and mature. Now, the new Digital Experience Platform (DXP) powers this blog at Mcbeev.com. The results are a breath of fresh air.

2021 Year in Review

Another year has passed us all by as we sit here on New Year’s Eve. Since today is technically a holiday day off for us, and I’m dead tired from the crazy workout this morning, I found a little inspiration to write up a ‘year in review’ blog post.
