Major renovation work begun

June 26, 2007 · Filed Under blogging

I’ve just begun a rather significant reworking of this blog. Inertia, coupled with some base technical functionality, has moved me to stay with Wordpress; however, I’ve done a clean (re)install of version 2.2.1, including importing my posts & your comments into a new database instance. I’m hoping that this will help me to more easily rid the archives of a whole bunch of cruft & junk, particularly when I couple it with a revisiting of all my old postings so that I can better winnow out the unnecessary postings and properly tag what’s left. I’m also doing what I plan on being a ruthless evaluation of the plugins that I have installed, along with a graphical redesign that will streamline the look & feel of the blog for you hardy souls who actually visit the site. I’m going for a more minimalist design, which will hopefully yield quicker loading times as well as more pleasant & direct interactions with the site. I plan on getting this done as quickly as I can, but please don’t hold it against me (or stop visiting/reading!) if it takes a longer than a couple of days. Vielen Dank! -ghp
