			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="http://thadallender.com/2008/06/08/graph-paper-press/" title="Link to Graph Paper Press"><img class="wppt_float_left" src="http://thadallender.com/wp-content/uploads/wp-post-thumbnail/CWmvYU.jpg" alt="" title="" width="284" height="150" /></a><p><a href="http://graphpaperpress.com">Graph Paper Press</a> is an online side project of mine that happened by total accident.  When I began the arduous task of updating my photography Web site in 2002, I didn&#8217;t realize that I was about to embark on a never-ending journey into the bowels of the internet.</p>
<p>After experimenting with countless <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_management_system">content management systems</a> to run <a href="http://thadallender.com">www.thadallender.com</a>, I finally discovered <a href="http://wordpress.org">WordPress</a>.  At the time, WordPress didn&#8217;t accomplish what was required for managing a growing photography, video, and multimedia Web site.  So, I began to tinker&#8230;and tinker&#8230;and tinker&#8230;and, well, you get where I&#8217;m going.</p>
<p>Because of WordPress, my photography Web site began to reach an entirely new audience of readers who liked how I had tweaked my site.  I decided to release my first public WordPress theme, <a href="http://visualization.thadallender.com/">Visualization</a>, and soon thereafter, I launched Graph Paper Press in December of 2007 to house most of my WordPress-related activities.  At the core, Graph Paper Press focuses on creating graphically minimal, content-rich designs that provide readers with multiple entry points to access content of all shapes and sizes.</p>
