TCM Website Presentation Updates In Progress

Toomre Capital Markets LLC ("TCM") uses the open-source Content Management System ("CMS") system called Drupal to generate the web pages that are served up on this website. As part-time technology "geeks", we at TCM are big fans of the flexibility that this technology offers. That flexibility comes at a cost though. Whereas as some other popular CMS software like WordPress are much easier to use "right out of the box" so to speak, Drupal requires considerable effort in setting various parameters and even some programming to get a website to look and work as desired.

The current version of the TCM website has remained basically unchanged for the past two plus years. During the summer of 2010, we will be making some changes both to address the resolution of some long-known issues and to prepare for a move both to a new version of Drupal (Drupal 7) and the adoption of the HTML5 language. Hence, there may be some temporary hick-ups as these changes are incorporated into the production website.

If there are annoyances about the current presentation and/or operation of this website that bother the reader, please let us know. We will try to incorporate such changes before we are distracted by the upgrades to HTML5 and Drupal 7. Thanks!
