Wordpress and other holiday things
General, Site/Blog December 21st, 2004
Welcome to the new site with the new look. I finally moved away from my home-grown blog to a pre-packaged one called Wordpress. It uses PHP and Mysql, so it’s almost the same as mine. The upside is I get a bunch of cooly features I didn’t have before (like skinned themes, different views, plugins, etc.) and it didn’t take any/much work to get that going. I also can port the features I had in my blog to Wordpress hacks or plugins (I’ve already done a few,) and those things I can share with others.
What I haven’t figured out yet is how to integrate the non-blog pieces of the site into the blog. I don’t know if I want to have them completely isolated, or somehow mixed.
I’m on vacation all week, and so far it’s been busy and lazy. We’ve been decorating, baking, shopping, wrapping, cooking, watching movies… I took Winston to the vet yesterday for his checkup and we’ll go get some more chemo on Thursday. Braggin Rights game is tomorrow night, and I’m pumped. There’s so much to do, I need to be treating this as a ‘work week’ and getting up and going to bed at a normal hour … But there’s something really fun about staying up late over Xmas break, working on nothing important at all. I’ve been doing that since college. Seems like the last couple of winters it has been blog editing, along with playing cribbage with Junior. I should see if he’s still interested in that…
