The move to Wordpress

February 3rd, 2009

Having run the home page of my site from Blogger for several years I’ve decided to move to using Wordpress. It is a fully featured blog and content management system which will allow me to develop ideas I’ve had while working on client sites.

Have made good progress today though it’s still very much ‘work in progress’. Wordpress is installed and running in parallel with the other applications, I’ve applied basic template styles to tie it in with the other pages in the site and added some initial plug-ins for search engine optimisation and integration with Flickr.

Your thoughts on the faded background welcome, personally I’m in 2 minds but it should work well as background for images. The problem with your own site is it’s so hard to tell – you are the developer, designer and the client rolled into one!

Over the next few days I’ll be adding other elements and applying the new styles to the Photoblog and Scottish Mountain Gallery. Watch this space!
