Things look a bit different around here. I’ve finally had as much as I can stand of e107. It use to be a great CMS, but it hasn’t been meeting my needs for a while, and with the lack up updates it doesn’t look like things were going to get better any time soon.

So, with a bit of work I’ve moved my site to Wordpress. It [currently] lacks some of features that I had at my old site, but nothing that cannot be replaced in time. One thing that I’m very happy about is with this migration, I was able to import the old posts and comments from my old Blogger.com Blog. Getting those archived posts back into my site was something that I’ve wanted for a long time.

So, what all has changed? Well…

• Theme - This is the default Wordpress theme. I’m working on my own, but it’ll take some time.
• Forums - No more forums. There really wasn’t a need for it on my personal site, however I may provide something in the near future for those of you who want a place to talk.
• User Profiles/Registration - No more need to register. If you’ve got something to say in Re: to a post, just post a comment. It’s pretty simple.
• Comments - For now, comments will have to be approved. I plan on changing this after I get some anti-spam mechanics worked out.
• Gallery - Yes, this is gone too. I do plan on posting some kind of gallery later on. Maybe Picasa or Coppermine, I haven’t decided yet. The OCC Wallpapers that I did are gone. I’m no longer going to provide those items seeing as how I am no longer welcomed there. Hope you got them while you could.
• Reviews - I’ve still not decided on this item yet. I had considered a review section under the old d3bruts1d.com, but now I’m not so sure. If I do, it may just be in the form of a normal post. We’ll see what happens after I get everything cleaned up.
• Tags - In addition to post categories (the same as the old site), I now have the ability to tag my posts. This will help tie posts together. I’ve gone through a number of historic posts and started tagging them. The number of posts with a tag is directly representative of the size of the tag in the “tag cloud” (in the menu). Larger = more posts.
• Internal Links - Because this site contains an mix of two older sites with different structures, old internal links will probably not work. I plan on going back and addressing a number of these once I get a theme worked out.
• More Cool Stuff - There will be more cool stuff added soon, so keep an eye out.

Well, that pretty well wraps things up for now. Check back soon for more updates.
