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.

    Gotta say mate, I agree with ya solidly. Reinventing the wheel is all very nice if you got nothing else to do, but if you got a life outside of your monitor, it’s not the way forward!
    Wordpress is lookin cool mate, and if it stop muppets hacking your shizzit too, then it’s all good.

    Enjoy Life, Live it, Love it!
