Version Eight: “Valentine”

Three exhaust­ing days and nights in order to accom­plish two objec­tives that, when looked upon at first, seemed rather simple.

  1. Design and imple­ment a new site design, not nec­es­sar­ily to honor the upcom­ing "holiday"—but rather, in spite of it.
  2. Finally decide to try out Word­Press, which meant migrat­ing all of the site con­tent, pre­vi­ously man­aged by b2.

Well, of the two, num­ber one seemed to be eas­ier to accom­plish and was mostly done last night. The lat­ter task, how­ever, took for­ever due to the fact that the b2—>WordPress import script didn't work for much of any­thing, which led to hav­ing to import every­thing man­u­ally and then going into each entry and re-assigning cat­e­gories. With over three hun­dred entries, my patience started to wane, well, yesterday.

Oh well. All done now. Run­ning Word­Press. We'll see how it goes.

Any­one like the design? I've been instructed to "keep this one a while." Dunno why. Any­who, you know the drill. Com­ment line forms at the left. Lemme know whatcha think, espe­cially if you hate it.

(You bet­ter be happy, Geof.) ;)

    Yeah, I stand by my state­ment of keep­ing this one a while. I like the change to red.

    The import script didn't work for you? :( Dude, that blows.

    I think you'll like WP, though. It's the log­i­cal exten­sion of what Michel was doing.

    As for the lay­out … I really do dig it, even if it is re: Sin­gles Aware­ness Day.
