Welcome!

I’ve finally managed to get enough done with my WordPress customizations that I’m ready to make this site live to the big bad world, so here it is. I still have a few things I plan on tweaking, so don’t be surprised if you see some changes over the next few weeks. And maybe (just maybe), I’ll actually write some posts, too.

WordPress first impressions

Monday, July 9th, 2007

This site/blog/whatever isn’t even live yet, and I’m already very happy with WordPress. I’ve played with a few blogging systems in the past, and was never happy with any of them. Living in a Windows world, and running my own server, I never seemed to find any options I was really happy with. After buying the Xserve with Aaron, I started playing around with WordPress.

Despite my complete inexperience with PHP, and my relative inexperience with Apache, it’s been a wonderful experience. I haven’t run into a single complication or any instance where I can’t easily accomplish what I’d like. A far cry from what I’m used to (*cough* Community Server *cough*), to be sure. Right now, I’m in the process of putting together the theme that will soon grace these pages, and it couldn’t be easier. In fact, with some excellent guidance, it’s been an absolute breeze.
