Migration to WP

So you’ll have noticed that this blog looks very different from how it’s been for a very long time. Well, as much as I didn’t want to readily, I moved from using Grey Matter to WordPress as my blogging tool. It’s been a bit of an adjustment, but overall I’m pretty happy with the new software. It seems a lot more powerful that GM.

For one thing, changing templates is a whole lot less painless. With GM, one small change might need 5-10 minutes to regenerate all of the pages. With WP, any changes are instant, and are constant through all of the pages. Nice!

The current look is based off an existing template that came with the software. I’ve changed some elements to make it look like my website. I’d like to change more, but I’m just so busy at the moment. I’m in the process of categorizing my back entries right now. The default, uncategorized category is “Jason was lazy…” Hopefully, that category will be empty by the end of the week. When that’s done, I’d also like to move my 2003-2004 entries to this software so that all of my existing blog is consolidated in one place.

After all that…I will work on getting some gallery software up and running.
