Moved to WordPress

For a while now I did not like my previous site much more. The colors were weird and the font too. This evening someone reminded me of WordPress and I decided to check it out. And I like it. It focusses on blogging, while Drupal is a real CMS. And as I use my site for blogging, it’s better to use WordPress.

I imported all articles from my old Drupal site. All images are broken of course, but the content is there. Maybe I’ll repair some of my posts.

This weekend I’ve working on chores around the house. After living here for 5 years it was time to add a doorbell to my door (I still find it pretty useless, but it seems standard) and I attached a thing that holds my name besides the door (of course I did not manage to get it aligned properly, so it’s in an angle, but hey, it is there). Also I attached a better infrared sensor in my hall, so the lights turn on as soon as I enter it. Let it be a dark (and cold) winter ;-).

So, next time a KDE blog again ;-)

    I found blazeblogger for myself. You cannot have a software that focuses more on blogging than this :)

    Its a set of perl scripts for adding, edting, listing blog posts and is highly influenced by git (which doesnt mean its hard to learn, quite the opposite – its VERY easy)

    Then there is a final command that will create the content and it does it FAST.

    Maybe you want to give it a try. If you have ssh access to your webhost, its a very very nice alternative to all those bloated blog systems.
    There is only one drawback: Since the resulting page is static you have no comments.

    Here is an example: http://zensiert.xssn.at

    All in all it looks pretty good, this wordpress of yours! I have been curious for some time and the backend and the files on the server look simple and doable. Maybe we can sell it to a client in the future…

    I still like to use blogspot for blogs, you can make as much as you want, easy intergrate ads, I now even am intergrating infolinks.

    @Seeker, I don’t like ads much and I don’t like the owner of blogspot either. So, not for me. Thank god for choice ;-)

    I like ads because they make money on one way or other, so its a good think that you can earn money with a free blog.
