It took me a while to get to it, but I finally updated my site to new Wordpreess.

At first I was expecting to do it similar to the way I had done it before, take just the blog and put it on the blog page, and wrap it in a new layout. With this version of Wordpress I was able to use the Pages feature, and a custom Theme to recreate the old site layout. I ended up needing a few plugins, among them one that allows entering php code right in the markup of the page, allowing me to integrate some of the more complicated pages I had before right in (Resume and Gallery). The mig I used before didn’t want to integrate into this new setup to well, so I ended up replacing it with a simple Wordpress plugin instead.

At the same time I replaced the RSS feeds on the site with Feedburner feeds so I can track who reads my Blog better.

I still have some styling left to do since I essentially restyled a bright theme to a Dark theme, but its readable right now so its not too bad. I have all my old pages back too, so it wasn’t too bad of a conversion.

Total this took me around 4 hours, I went to sleep at 2am, just to get up the next morning at 6am to get to work, so I’m prety tired right now .. yea.
