We switched to WordPress

After several months of working with Joomla, we decided to switch to WordPress due to ease of use and the fact that it is oriented towards blogging. Joomla’s great for other purposes, but WordPress made a great impression during a test drive last week. We probably won’t have our old design back until I get a handle on theming, but I’ll try to find a theme today where I can replace the header image with our nice grass picture.

Also, apologies to any blogrings and webrings we are members of as I’m still figuring out how to add the necessary code to WordPress.

Wow – the hours whipped by while I added WordPress widgets & plugins galore. I’m more than impressed about what’s possible with WordPress, especially since I dissed it in favor of Textpattern a couple of years ago, and again passed over it while re-evaluating it about 9-12 months ago. Now it’s a great new toy for me

Not that you asked, but I switched to WordPress in May and have really come to love it!

Thank you – WordPress is quite the revelation. Not that I am unfamiliar with the world of blogs & content management systems, but 2 years ago I decided against it in favor of Textpattern due to a seemingly more dynamic user base, but WordPress is nothing short of amazing now.
