I like this site. Question: I can't tell from the source if you are using a CMS of any kind or if this is custom developed in Django or similar. Care to reveal what you used?

It's all custom Django, good guess on that one. I do use my fair share of external Django apps though. Ignoring the built in Django apps, My INSTALLED_APPS list has 10 unmodified external reusable apps, and 11 internal apps, which include ones I built myself and a few reusable apps I had to modify.

Thanks to everyone for the positive comments.

A minor tip: create a 404.html that matches the look of the site. Right now you're serving the one from the Django admin :)

That, is awesome.

Agreed.

Agreed ^ 2.

That's cool, I'm working on a 'buzz' site as well for the edinburgh festivals, though we're doing some AI magic to pull in crowdsourced reviews and classify them with star ratings. It's jolly good fun, though working with thesps is doing my head in.

(No URL 'cos it ain't finished yet!)

I like the look of this site. Who did the visual design/graphics?

My friend Kim Nguyen did the design: http://twitter.com/3am_studio

She's pretty awesome.
