It’s been awhile since I used WordPress and a new friend recommended that I give it a try again. It looks good, it has the WYSIWYG Editor built in, which is nice, and the themes are so much better than when I first tried it out. It is still the easy-to-use blogging software that I first discovered years ago, but now it has built in Page support. I think it was an add-on when I first tried it out years and years ago. And they have even started to add some DHTML functionality as well. Even has some AJAX, which is nice. Saves on the page loads and just operates much smoother.

I still like Drupal for some thing and will continue using it form many of my sites, especially since Drupal has the CivicCRM modules which I hope to use on my non-profit website. The most annoying thing about Drupal for me is it doesn’t have built in WYSIWYG support and the modules I have tried gave me problems or did not satisfy.

For now, for my new WordPress blog, I just picked a template from WordPress template gallery, but I know I will be changing it. For one, this is a fixed width template, and I hate fixed width templates, especially since I have a huge screen. A whole 50% of my screen is whitespace with is template. What a waste of pixel real estate. Okay, okay, so 2 out of the 3 monitors I have are set at 1920 x 1200 pixels, and one of them is set at 1280 x 1024 pixels. So, on my smaller monitor, only 2/5 of the screen is empty with this template. I mean, why buy bigger monitors if websites can’t scale to accommodate them? Anyway…. I’m ranting. So, expect a template change in the near future. I like this template, but if it can easily be changed to variable-width, that would be great. Plus there are some touches of my own I’d like to do.

I’m going to convert www.morepossibilities.info into a personal portal to my various projects and start blogging on blog.morepossibilities.info instead. I’ll move over the blog posts and everything at some point soon.

So, expect some changes.
