moving on to wordpress

line

Code is Poetry!

for the past one year, we have been running mobilephotos on serendipity: meaning, we did experience what suit us best.

this was a very hard decision yet today, we moved to wordpress! the main reasons being:

a) the limited themes available for s9y, most probably due to the smaller community and not as widespread as wordpress is.

b) wordpress has a better management of post categories: i can create new tags directly from the post editing page, just by entering them in a text field, separated by commas. anyway — you’ll notice, however that the imported posts from s9y (i used rss import to automate the process) have their categories all mixed up; will probably take the rest of the weekend to fix this and its not due to wordpress but rather the import codes that i hacked from googled rss importer.

c) i like the backend template editing that wordpress offers, and also the cool widgets (although, was pioneered by s9y, so this is not something new to s9y)

moving on … mobilephotos will be using wordpress now, still for a peace of mind (if you dont want to get some code hacking and frequent change of templates, or automated upgrades etc), i do still recommend s9y!

  3. Wahh… nice theme, Z. I think WordPress is good. So many thmes to choose and many plugins to choose.

    So, blog ini akan jadi satu blog yang generate $$$ la, kan, bos. Macam sabahan.com or johnchow.com ka.

  4. alb, hey merry xmas! if this can generate money – why not.
    for the time being – this is just a personal blog without much adverts and will try to keep it only with our own posts (may change — but i just dont find it amusing reading pages with more ads than the actual post).

    we might throw in a few google ads anyway.
