An Evil Mad Scientist

they call me mad, but in fact I am actually quite happy.

Back to the Future: WordPress 2.5

After kicking the can around with SilverStripe and MODx CMS, I’ve decided that for my needs WordPress will do just fine.

I’ve settled for having several unique sites instead of one “all inclusive” one. The bang I was after on my portfolio was not compatible with a full site, so I just turned it into essentially a web brochure.

Next up: The blog. Anything you want to know about what I’m thinking… so read up, Camacho. And lastly but not least-ly: Shockeye, my solo music project. I haven’t spent any time thinking about how I’ll set that up yet… scratch that, I guess it was “least-ly” after all.

As far as WordPress goes, I seem to be having a more pleasurable time with it this time around as I am only using it as a blog. Another thing that makes WP slightly more joyful this time is the fact that I didn’t previously think to turn off the WYSIWYG editor.

Oh, yeah… they boasted that the new WYSIWYG editor in 2.5 doesn’t bork code on your posts. I had that one proven wrong within 2 minutes of turning it back on.

I won’t write a full diagnosis on WordPress 2.5; honestly, I don’t really care. It works and it was easy to setup. What else do I really need?
