As you have probably noticed, I have migrated to a WordPress blog. Since I started my website, the quality (in my opinion) of WP has increased exponentially. I have not been able to find a WP theme that I like, so I will be making my own. Until then, the generic (read: “ugly”) theme will remain. However, I can now keep my entire site in one CMS/Blog system without worrying about all kinds of extra stuff.
Woo hoo. Thanks for stopping by.
Things are undergoing yet more changes here at Chimeric Dream. I am merging most of the old site into my blog to make everything easier to maintain, and my D&D campaign setting Pannotia is getting its own domain. As part of all of this, I will be officially dropping support for IE6 in my layout.
I’ll be posting here as things progress. More information and explanations to come.
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.
