Yoga Bear: Now Using YUI and App Engine

My girlfriend Halle works hard at her nonprofit, Yoga Bear. I help out by maintaining the website. Today I ported the website from Django (hosted by WebFaction) to Google’s App Engine; I also ported the CSS to use YUI’s reset, fonts, and grids.

As a result, we no longer have to pay hosting fees and the site renders properly in IE 6. Furthermore, the transition will allow me to explore the YUI AJAX libraries and App Engine data store to add some new features to the Yoga Bear website. The web is beginning to feel less hostile to rapid development.
