I’m barely 24 hours into blogging via wordpress and already I’m finding it way easier to simply add content. No dramas: click a bookmark, add content, and hit publish. Sweet. The old version is something along the lines of:
- plug in usb stick
- get current month’s page
- copy blog template and update dates and links
- add content
- get rss feed code page
- copy blog entry into feed
- ftp both pages to site
Phew! Now try all that while live blogging a talk or conference. I’ve learnt a lot of useful stuff via handcoding: how CSS works, the delights of converting from table based to CSS, basic XML, and a few other bits and pieces. Now I want to learn other things, play with widgets, have a comments section, drop in fun stuff and who knows what else.
