Yet Another Slight Change
It seems like I can never just keep things the way they are. This is true in my business, my web site, my video style, and in life. Some people may look at this as a negative, but I think of it as the very opposite. The changes that I make, are always striving to make something better. In my video production, it is to increase the quality of the video that I record and edit, and today, it is making the web site look a little bit better.
The change is subtle, and it is right in front of you if you are reading this. That’s right, I changed the blog. For a few years, I have been using the Blogger service to host my blogs for various groups. It worked well, but it is a little crude, and you can’t get it to look just the way you want. When I created this new site in the Fall, I tried using some different tools that are plugins for this site. The programing language behind the site is called Joomla, and there are several plugins that people have made that will create a blog, however, I didn’t like any of them. Instead of using one of them, I simply "wrapped" my Blogger site into this one. And that was okay, but not great.
In the past month, I have been fooling around with a blogging technology called WordPress, and I love it. My first major thing I did was create an online magazine with my friend called AAVR Magazine. We have some contributors, and are running like a true magazine. The next thing that I did, was redo my personal blog that I share with my soon to be wife. And then finally, today I moved my Keith Michael Production blog into WordPress. WordPress lets you import from your old blog, so everything that I had on Blogger, has been moved over. Now this blog will be easier to maintain, and I think it will look a lot better. So please enjoy the new format as I hope to be writing a lot more.
