I’ve delivered simple, clear and easy-to-use services for 20 years, for startups, scaleups and government. I write about the nerdy bits here.

Interesting.

Okay, so I finally got sick of using my own thing. Why? Pfft. It was unsupported, not-so-interoperable, and hacks and fun stuff didn’t work out-of-the-.tar.gz-archive for it. Well, okay. I’m lazy, that’s why. And WordPress is infinitely more fun to use, as well as being quicker, cooler, and nicer.

What’s not to like?

There are many things which are exactly the same about it, only done more intuitively, but there are also some completely new features. Like trackback/pingbacks. And post statuses (Draft or Private, anyone? I can work on a post, mark it as draft, and continue later. Or, if I don’t want the world to see a post, then I can mark it as private. Or just set a password on the post. Whatever!)

My only qualm is getting existing content to play nice with WordPress. At the minute, I don’t know if I will/can be bothered, but we shall see.
