A Blog home, that is…

So, my move to Wordpress is finally completed. Apologies to any of you who experienced an outage during this time of flux. Somehow, I’m sure you survived. heh..

In the past month, we’ve:

• Moved from a table based layout to a total CSS based layout
• Changed from a hosted blog system to a self run system
• Changed the system type – Blogger to Wordpress
• Changed from a Windows based server to a Unix based server, mostly for fancy permalink reasons (IIS on Windows doesn’t support .htaccess and mod_rewrite for those of you that care)

Anyway, hopefully things will settle down shortly – my permalinks have changed (somehow that doesn’t sound right, does it – like jumbo shrimp), and I still have to figure out how to get a redirect from atom.xml to my new RSS feed, but all in due time.

I will be posting reviews of other systems, as previously stated, but in the end it was the ease of administration and the ability to use things like Wordpress Pages that tipped the scales.  It truly is a wonderful web-publishing system, and I’ll be posting more on the subject shortly.

Anyway, now back to the original programming of commentary on all things.
