So the site is going live

That’s right, I’ve decided it’s far enough to let the site go live. There are certain aspects of the old site which have not made a reappearance, however, I’m working on those slowly as time allows.

I hope you all enjoy the new site, it’s going to be an interesting ride rebuilding it, but I think the new direction I have in mind will be very good not only for myself, but for anyone who might stop by and do some light reading. So please, take a minute, sit back, and enjoy the show. It’s gonna be a bumpy ride, but it’ll be worth it.

So Far, So Good

So far it appears as though I’ve gotten everything working on the website, and I’m very close to actually launching the new website! I can’t wait for that to happen, cause I’m really excited about knowing what people think of it. All in all, the change was made for a couple reasons:

1) After having my previous forums hacked (more on that later), I became amazingly concerned with security, and after some research and some good ol’ memories, I decided on Wordpress as the medium by which I’d lauch my new, more secure website.

2) While I absolutely LOVE coding in PHP, I found that writing my own CMS was more a labor of reinventing the wheel, than actually enjoying what I was doing. By allowing this to happen, I can focus on other projects that I’ve had going for a while, and hopefully get them up and running for all to see and enjoy.

3) I found myself needing more time. I need to, if the mood suits me, have a quick medium where I can post something, and then enjoy the time I have with my family and pets. It’s important to me to set aside that needed time, and if I was stuck sitting here looking at a computer screen coding away at something while not participating in something they’re doing, I’d be missing out on a great many things.

So there you have it, the basic reasons I switched over to Wordpress as my new power source for Peoii.com. I hope you enjoy the new site as much as I do, and make sure you check back soon, because I’m still working on getting everything just so to make sure this site really starts to feel like home.

So yeah, Welcome Back

Current Mood:Sickly emoticon Sickly

Well, as you can see, Peoii.com has undergone some serious changes. I’m working on getting everything that was on the old site ported over to the new one, and I’m still working on the overall look of the new site, so things may still be changing in the upcoming weeks, however, I am overall pleased with my current progress, and I hope the new design of the site will allow me to make more updates in a timely manner from here on out!

As for the old news, I still havn’t decided what I’m going to do with them. I might go ahead and add them all in manually to this system, but at this time, I’m undecided as to what to do. However, I do know this, you can look forward to more regular updates to the site, and more new content coming soon!

So yeah, back to working on the site, and I hope everyone enjoy’s the new Peoii.com!
