Changed to Wordpress
I’ve now changed my blog over to Wordpress. I’d been using Wordpress on my wife’s site for a while now and liked it quite a bit. My MT install was getting dated, and very prone to spam. Instead of updating to MT 3, I decided to make the switch to wordpress instead.
A couple of things that impressed me about Wordpress was the Codex wich is a great source of assistance for all things Wordpress. The codex was a great help in the changeover to WP. Theres also a large number of alexking.org: WordPress Themes available. The site is currently running the “rin” theme. I’ll hack that in coming weeks to add AdSense ads again. Eventually I’ll roll my own theme for something more distinctive, but this’ll do for now.
Finally, I worked a bit of mod_rewrite magic so that virtually all of the old URL’s still work. If you read the site through the RSS feed, the old URL’s still work no need to resubscribe. If there’s any drama’s, leave a comment on this post and I’ll try to sort things out.
Steve Says
Hi, don’t want to be seen as spamming or anything but really trying to get
some support for two Australians who are current pedalling a cyclo 1,700km
from Hanoi to Saigon to raise money for a streetkids charity in Vietnam.
Their blog diary from the road is here:
www.extremecharity.info
Any support you can give in terms of links or coverage would be a huge
help. And if anyone would like to go to the site and leave a message of
support (or even better - a donation) then that would be fantastic.
Kind Regards
