I’ve taken over the hosting of christopher.org, the main site of our dear departed friend Christopher Schmitt. It is home to seventeen years of blog posts and a good place to be reminded of all the other professional work he did, from books written, conferences spoken at, podcast appearances, etc (a lot!). Unfortunately, it doesn’t have too much about all the conferences he helped create and run under the name Environments for Humans (with Ari Stiles). For now, just know that was also a lot and perhaps his biggest success and biggest influence over the world of web design and development.
It’s a WordPress site, and I’ve left it WordPress for now — unlike thankyouchristopherschmitt.netlify.app which we specifically designed to last. The only change I made was linking to that thank-you site in the header.
If someday it becomes untenable to leave it as WordPress, I’ll probably look at a way to convert it into a static site, which would bring the hosting cost down and make it more portable and such. But that’s on me now and I’m on it.
Thanks for doing this, Chris. I really appreciate it!
Thank you, Chris. It’s heartwarming to see his legacy maintained.
