Conversion to WordPress

As you can see, over the Memorial Day weekend, I finally managed to get my website converted to WordPress. Other than the content (all the old stuff is still here) everything has changed and I welcome your feedback.

Despite the fact that it took a while the process was really relatively easy, thanks largely to careful planning. If you have ever pondered the transition to WordPress for your own blog or website I highly recommend it. The platform is incredibly extensible and customizable. The available support is phenominal, even the documentation on the website is surprisingly good. Anyone who knows developers knows how much they despise documentation.
I also had the privilage of working on a couple of other client sites over the weekend via my company BlackBox Technologies. Wendistry was the first conversion and came out beautifully. My personal blog, scottismy.name also got converted (actually migrated, it had been on WP for a while) and two other client sites which have not gone live so I can’t disclose their names but be looking for reviews in the near futue (I’ll be sure to plug BlackBox again so you’ll know who they are).

It was a long and tough weekend of heads down coding and implementing but sometimes it feels good to get your hands that dirty, and all of the planning and preparation are done so that when the time comes, as it did this weekend, we can simply execute our plan.

Hattip to: Jon at 3nhanced for how to create the cool WP logo.
Enjoy the new site and let me know what you think.
