Three Chords & Fake News - New album by Pete Corman out now!
Wed, 23 Apr 2025 09:33:16 GMT by Pieter
Three Chords & Fake News is my new album! But hang on a second... things might not be what they seem. I composed these songs between 2010 and 2015. Recently, I used Suno.com to generate AI "covers" from them, and I was struck by how much better some of the AI renditions sound compared to my original recordings. This experience has led me to believe that it won't be long, maybe five years tops, b ...
Teaching WordPress to college students
Mon, 24 Mar 2025 17:51:40 GMT by Pieter
My first teaching experience has primarily focused on WordPress, as per our College's request— and that’s exactly what I delivered. The demo site at https://demo.ucll.info/ showcases nearly everything I cover in my lessons: Navigation Hero sections and many other built-in blocks Parallax backgrounds Cookie notice Twenty Twenty-Five theme ...
QuickerSite website over the years
Sun, 27 Apr 2025 21:04:49 GMT by Pieter
The Internet Archive Wayback Machine regularly crawls and archives the entire web, creating copies of all websites. That's how I was able to access earlier versions of QuickerSite.com. It's giving me a bit of nostalgia!
QuickerSite v4.4: Introducing Page Media
Thu, 27 Feb 2025 11:40:53 GMT by Pieter
In this exciting update, I'm thrilled to announce the release of QS44, which introduces the page media-feature. Adding images to any page is now a breeze, and the best part? It's fully responsive! Responsiveness has always been a challenge with the outdated CKEditor software. This new feature can be previewed here. You can download QS44 directly from its GitHub repository. Speaking of CKEditor, it's becom ...
QuickerSite 4.4 about to be released
Thu, 14 Nov 2024 10:34:55 GMT by Pieter
I haven't released a new QS version in a while, but that's about to change soon. My recent work with WordPress, experimenting with Bootstrap for other projects, and exploring the Google Search Console have all inspired me to refine some existing QS features and even create an entirely new plugin.
When to use WordPress and when stick with QuickerSite?
Tue, 12 Nov 2024 17:59:12 GMT by Pieter
After having played with WordPress for several months now, it's about time to compare it to QuickerSite. Or better, ask myself the question: when to use WordPress and when to stick with QuickerSite? When stick with QS? For small sites QS has a 14MB codebase. WordPress starts with a 80MB codebase and a 10MB MySQL database. The WordPress codebase quickly grows into 100's of megabytes in case you use ...
JS/CSS Frameworks and WordPress
Mon, 21 Oct 2024 14:42:38 GMT by Pieter
I wouldn't have been me if I'd not look into ways to link developer frameworks to WordPress. So I did: https://playground.iseral.be/ I can now use WP as a container app for custom Classic ASP development using aspLite and Bootstrap, something I've been doing very successfully over the last years. Are there other JS/CSS frameworks you can think of?
WordPress, a quick guided tour!
Tue, 01 Oct 2024 19:12:56 GMT by Pieter
I have never been a big fan of WordPress. But I was wrong all the time. WordPress is in a transition however. It's slowly going away from blog engine to a visual website design tool. Slowly. I share the things I learned these past few weeks. Enjoy!
Web.config for hosting WordPress on IIS
Wed, 18 Sep 2024 18:39:00 GMT by Pieter
I have been playing (a lot) with WordPress on IIS (Windows Server 2019) lately. Nick has been very helpful by guiding me around. WordPress is some kind of an application in the end as long as you stay away from performance-killing plugins. Even though IIS is not the recommended host for WordPress, it does the job. And the stronger your specs, the better. I get very good results on a very basic AWS Cloud Se ...

Fri, 26 Jul 2024 14:53:42 GMT by Pieter
I am offered a job as a teacher in Webdesign. So I have a question for you guys. What would you consider modern webdesign tools, trends, do's and dont's? Thanks!
Your help is needed. Please sign the petition!

Support for Classic ASP/VBScript is scheduled to be removed on future Windows releases. This makes no sense at all. Therefore, please sign the petition to stop this madness! Sign the petition
My ebook is being very well received
Mon, 03 Jun 2024 11:10:25 GMT by Pieter
My ebook about aspLite has been read over 1000 times meantime. Happy to share some of the comments so far: Ilkertr: I remembered my old Classic ASP programming days. I couldn't learn new asp.net. When I saw your page, I found the excitement of developing something with Classic ASP again. Thank you. David: A good read Pieter. Really enjoyed reading about the history of classic ASP and particularly your wor ...
Clock is ticking for Classic ASP/VBScript
Tue, 23 Apr 2024 23:10:54 GMT by Pieter
I've been quite busy these last few weeks. After the release of Setlistplanner.com, I developed some apps for my wife's dental practice. I made her a waiting list app and an app to manage her stock. I reused the application template I also developed Setlistplanner on. It's a very promising template, making use of aspLite. Right after, I was so excited that I decided to write a book about how I used aspLite ...
Setlist Planner
Mon, 15 Apr 2024 14:20:08 GMT by Pieter
Nick and I, we finally started developing our so called Setlist Planner. As a performing artist I have all kinds of playlists, for all kinds of situations and occasions. It started to drive me crazy. So I decided to come up with a little tool. It may help others. I uploaded Setlist Planner to Github. Check it out! In short: -create an unlimited number of songs and playlists -sort songs in the playl ...
Template for modern Classic ASP/VBScript development
Tue, 16 Apr 2024 18:07:18 GMT by Pieter
Few months ago Nick and I had a brainstorm about this idea for a new app to organize setlists. Instead of diving into that straight away I came up with a template that could serve this and potentially many other similar application-ideas. I uploaded my work so far to https://github.com/PieterCooreman/Setlist-Planner This template could be a starting point for any new Classic ASP/VBScript development. "Temp ...
ChatGPT can code Classic ASP
Sun, 18 Feb 2024 11:54:29 GMT by Pieter
So I asked ChatGPT if it could code Classic ASP. Few seconds later, it came up with an application to "manage contacts". Click here for a dump of my 2 minute chat. I followed the instructions and guess what... this works! It does 100% what I asked for. Amazing. I attach the "full application" to this message, but guys, DO NOT USE THIS ON A LIVE SERVER... because... .. having a closer look at th ...
Some serious thinking
Wed, 17 Jan 2024 16:45:07 GMT by Pieter
GitHub cut me off last week. I no longer had access to the QuickerSite codebase or any other repository. I once forgot to download some recovery codes. I was no longer able to login using 2FA. My login was sort of disabled. Meantime all is fine again. I had to request to disable 2FA for my account. It took 2 days before they got that sorted. After I restored the 2FA-login requirements I was able to l ...
A New Year's present
Thu, 04 Jan 2024 12:43:25 GMT by Pieter
I admit: my hosting business has been shrinking year after year. Somewhere between 2007 and 2010 I hosted 1200 QuickerSites on a single Windows 2000 Advanced server. That number has gone down to 230 today. For some years now I'm using a Windows 2019 server in the AWS Public Cloud (EC2 instance). I recently downsized that EC2 instance from a t2.large to a t2.medium instance type. This took 5 minutes i ...
Mobirise beats Google sites...
Thu, 18 Jan 2024 18:48:54 GMT by Pieter
UPDATE! Mobirise no longer sells lifetime licenses like it did back in 2019-2020. It only sells yearly renewable licenses today. Make sure check out their license policy on their website! Google sites are extremely boring (because very limited) after all. So I rebuilt the website of my wife's dental practice www.ortholubbeek.be in Mobirise 4.12.4. I bought a full Mobirise4 l ...
Google sites - pros and cons
Thu, 28 Mar 2024 13:41:06 GMT by Pieter
Google Sites is getting somewhere! Google gave it a big update last summer. It's definitely worth to take a closer look. So far I have created 3 sites with Google Sites. One of them is my band's site. Pro's: 100% ad-free all-in-one hosting solution Use your own domain (multiple domains are possible) Sitesearch included by default GDPR-compatible cookiewarning Google analytics-ready Easy to add ...
