After installing my new blog, I started working on converting my whole site over to PHP. Halfway through that process, I decided to go with Object Oriented Programming. Simply put, OOP helps separate different aspects of code into manageable chunks, called objects (or classes). I just want to say that nobody - and I mean nobody - should make such massive change in the middle of a project. I had pretty much converted my entire “Family & Friends” photo gallery over to PHP when I decided to do this. So now I get to rewrite it again.
The good news is that once I have done this, it will be easier for me to update my site overall. Style/layout changes will be simpler and more straightforward, and (in theory), my code will be neater and more manageable. I suppose I just have to survive the initial transition.
