Switching to Wordpress by Ben Ramsey

When you hit my site today, you probably noticed a few different things. The first thing you noticed may have been that you were whisked away to a new URL. The second, and most noticable, thing was the new design.

Why the new location and look? you ask.

Because I wanted a nice, PHP-powered blog, I reply.

Yes, now I am running Wordpress, a full-featured blogging suite, that includes all those fancy pings and trackbacks that bloggers have come to love. This time, however, I’m running it with style in PHP—along with the nice GNU GPL (two features that Movable Type, my previous software, did not have).

Don’t be dismayed, however. Despite the fact that I have moved the location of my articles and am using new software, I have set up Apache Redirect directives for every page in my “old” site. So, there will be no broken links to my site; just be sure to update your links to the new pages over the next few months. I have yet to move many of the older postings over, and I will be doing that over the next few weeks, but they are still available on the old archives page, and I will implement Redirects for the pages as I move them.

I hope you find this new site better, more easily navigable, and just downright more sexy than the previous one.
