Moving to Wordpress

Filed under: General — MaW @ 9:31

After playing with Wordpress for a while I decided I rather like it, so Movable Type is out of the window and Wordpress moved into the root of the site. Enjoy!

If anybody has any problems with the site rendering, let me know, but if you’re not using a decent web browser (and I’m wavering on whether Internet Explorer 6 counts as ‘decent’, I’m thinking no) don’t expect me to be particularly sympathetic. This site is not designed to be handheld-friendly, it’s not designed to scale back gracefully on older browsers and it most certainly is designed for browsers with mostly complete CSS2 support.

And if I thought I could get away with it, I’d be using XHTML 2 - but I can’t, so I’m not even going to try yet.

Edit: none of the archives or comments URLs are working until I get mod_rewrite up and running.

Edit 2: mod_rewrite rules are now working.

  1. I got WP to play XHTML 1.1. I’ve not come across XHTML 2 yet though…

    Also, I had to cheat to get to leave a comment :)

  3. I’m just playing around with wordpress, and am planning to use it on my site, which will be live soon (i hope!).

    I’ve been looking at various wordpress powered sites, to get a feel for what can be done and just want to say I like your design -elegant and simplistic. Hopefully I can acheive something just as good.

    I wouldn’t call IE6 a decent browser though, it fails to properly implement w3c standards and has more holes than a pound of swiss cheese! Any browser that can place a virus in your startup folder just by using the scrollbar has problems if you ask me. (see http://secunia.com/advisories/12321/ - scary)
    Have a look at Firefox, with some decent extentions installed (Adblock, Web Developer, mouse gestures and more) it could well change your world! Just my opinion, but one I feel strongly on nonetheless.)

    All the best,

    Charlie
