I first ran across mention of Ryan Thrash many years ago, with his ingenious method of created
rounded corners(no, Ryan, I'm never going to let you live this down!). A couple of years later, I was looking for a CMS to manage a multiple-language website. I liked the structure of Etomite, especially it's simple templating system, but they had no feature for web user logins, which was another requirement. After searching for several weeks, I ran across another reference to Etomite, this time to the MODx (MODular, eXtensible) extensions that added web users to Etomite. The rest, as they say, is history.

Thank goodness they never went through with the idea of renaming it Tattoo!
