I’m sure you noticed that this blog looks entirely different. If not, you need to put down the bottle of Jack for awhile.
What you might not have known is that the old blog was running on custom PHP software I designed. Being a programmer, I like to create my own software so I can do what I want with it. But the reality is that Wordpress is much better than my software and I don’t have time to code the old software the way I want it.
The biggest motivation was a recent outbreak of spam. I didn’t have time to create my own spam blocking software, so it was time to switch. There nothing worse than seeing Viagra ads all over your website.
So far I really like wordpress. The plugins are cool and I really like alot of the other features.
I had to move all the old blog posts to the new blog and in doing so I lost all the comments attached to them. I started to go and redo the comments but decided not to. I also did some light editing of the posts/articles and removed some that were boring or that I didn’t like.
I still have alot to do, to get everything setup right so expect many changes over the next few weeks.
To those who use my Testing Calculator, it can still be found at the old address, but it will be a few days until I get it going with the new setup.
