Big Changes at tomsepper.net

In case you didn’t notice, tomsepper.net has undergone a huge revamp.

The biggest change, for me at least, is the fact that I’ve stopped trying to reinvent the wheel. For the past three years, I’ve developed my blog system from the ground up. It was functional, but not very user-friendly. Instead of continuing development of it, I have joined the legions of Word Press users.

The web developer/programmer/designer in me is in denial about the transition, but I know it was the right move. Word Press is far more powerful than anything I could ever attempt to write. I’m already amazed at its power and usability. I’ve modded this theme fairly well; one day I anticipate writing my own.

Luckily, there was an import utility that allowed me to import my 200 posts from the previous three years without much hassle. I didn’t have to manually reenter three years worth of posts! I did have to go through and categorize them, but that was time well spent. Now I just need to go through them again and double-check the post itself, i.e. images, links, formatting, etc.

If you notice something odd, use the contact page. That is.. when I finish it.
