Welcome back!

I’ve decided to retool my personal website and make it more of a portal to all my current interests and projects.

I’ve ditched iWeb and gone for something a little more robust; Wordpress combined with the Gallery 2 plugin to display my pictures. I’ve never done some of this stuff before but I’m getting a hang of it. I already like how things are turning out.

iWeb was great when I was just starting out in building websites. But I quickly realized that it was cumbersome and didn’t do exactly what I wanted it to do. After seeing the light and learning about Content Management Systems, I figured it was time to put my new found knowledge to work.

I considered using Drupal for this site and I’ve successfully used it in the past. But Drupal takes too much work to customize and getting it to do what I want can be a challenge. I’m short on time these days, so Wordpress it is.

I’m also looking forward to having a more general interest blog where I can spout off on whatever I want. Most of my other blogs are focused on one or two topics and I prefer to keep them that way. I may write about other things that interest me, like sci-fi or even politics. We’ll see.

Enjoy!
