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.
