WordPress

Posted on by

I’m quite liking WordPress I have to say. I’ve still got to get comfortable with the HUGE font used in the admin pages, I’m very much a ‘small font’ man myself, but otherwise the installation was trivial and it’s clean and simple to use. As always, took me a while to find a theme I liked for www.onelinemoviereviews.co.uk but once I did it was easy to change to my liking.

Which makes me wonder if I should finally replace www.darkstorm.co.uk/tony with a WordPress setup and move the blogger stuff over? WordPress promises it can migrate blogger posts (not tested it yet), and I do feel happier if I’m in control of my own data, rather than blogger holding onto it. Blogger has been great, but there’s a few things I want to be able to do which I can’t and I just have this nagging feeling of worry that my posts (without value as they are) are stored somewhere that I don’t have any direct access to.

Maybe I will, who knows. The bit that interests me a lot about WordPress in this regard is that it supports static ‘content’ in the form of pages as well as blog entries. This matches almost exactly what I custom wrote originally for the perception is truth site at www.darkstorm.co.uk/tony, and it’d be nice to convert that across into something which is easier to support and maintain.

Ha!

I managed it, no second cob for me! I’d like to thank everyone who helped me through this difficult period.

Pitch Black

An exciting and thrilling movie with enough scares to keep you on the edge of your seat and enough sarcastic banter to keep the most bitter of movie fans engaged, well worth watching.

American Pie 2

More of the same, American Pie 2 doesn’t pretend to be anything other than American Pie all over again, not quite as funny, not quite as cute, but worth seeing and with enough laugh-out-loud moments to help you forget your real life.

Tomb Raider

A mixed bag of a movie, Tomb Raider is certainly a better-than-average game-to-movie conversion with excellent action set pieces of good-enough performances from the main actors, but the movie is let down by a lack of threat from the bad guys and a serious lack of overall menace.
