New blog coming soon
29 octubre 2011
Update: new blog has been started here: www.ianchadwick.com/blog.
I've been tinkering with Wordpress as a new blog platform for the past week, trying out its features and layout options. very nice. Flexible, powerful and a lot more social media strength than my current package. I have watched WP develop over the years and it has a respected reputation, as well as a strong user community for feature development. The latest version - 3.2.1 - struck me as a good place to make the change.
Big bonus: it's free. This blog and the associated forum (at www.blueagaveforum.com) isn't. It's not hugely expensive, but after I bought the forum package with the gallery and blog add-ons, I do pay a small annual fee for updates. Need to be more thrifty these days, so every penny counts.
I'll try to get it live in the next week or two, once I've configured all the options and layout to suit me. I'll announce it here, with the new URL, but I'll leave this blog online for historical reasons. Not sure anyone will want to read my archives, but I'll keep them up. I'd transfer them all over if there was a simple way to do it, but I haven't found any script to automate the process. I'm not up to hacking MYSQL database files and porting entries one-at-a-time.
