It’s been almost a month since I converted my site from the e107 CMS to the WordPress blogging platform. I’ve always tried to keep from calling by site a “blog”, but hey… it’s just a label, right? So, it’s been a month. I will admit, I had hoped to be a bit further along with the “new d3bruts1d.com”, but I’ve been a tad bit busy with other things.
So far I’ve been really happy with WordPress. It’s fast, it’s easy to use, and it does what I need it to do. Eventually, I’ll want it to do more, and there are a great deal of plug ins available for it. Don’t get me wrong, e107 was good, it was just a bit more than I needed. Though I do find myself missing some of the e107 features, mainly the user profiles and the aspects related to that. I’m sure as I move farther and farther away from e107, I’ll get over it… and if not, there might be a plug in out there that’ll do what I want.
One of the best things so far, is the Akismet plug in. So far it has blocked 253 spam comments from hitting my site. Phew! That’s a lot of spam. 
Let’s hope after another month of WordPress usage, I’ll still be happy with it. Maybe things around here will even look a bit different by then. Though my wife still hasn’t updated her blog.
