Wordpress 1.5
I think I feel an IT Garage post emerging… Start with Godaddy, mix in liberal amounts of php and MySQL, download the wonderful blogtool from wordpress, cruise around looking for a decent CSS theme to "borrow" (we be stylin’), discover that every problem, no matter how dumb, has already been solved, or at least addressed I guess, by someone who was kind enough to document the solution a short google search away, and VOILA…
I have a good start toward something new and maybe even useful.
First, my decision to make such extensive modifications to Wordpress
that I decided to fork the code isn’t an indication that I think
Wordpress is a ‘bad’ tool, or is based on ‘bad’ coding. On the
contrary: with this new release, I consider Wordpress 1.5 to be one of
the best weblogging tools on the market. The new themes design is
absolutely brilliant, the user interface is intuitive and easy to use,
and the code has been cleaned up very nicely–the developers can be
justifiably proud of what they’ve delivered with this release. When the
first bug release of the product is available for download, (1.5.1) I
can, without hesitation, recommend this tool to any weblogger.
It seems to me to be high time that I get on the road to self sufficiency, and Wordpress looks like a great place to start!
