Expression Engine - finally!!
It was over 12 months ago that I wrote this article explaining the reasons why I made the decision to upgrade from pMachine to Expression Engine as my Content Management System (CMS). But a lot of other things have been going on in my life over the past year, and learning the intricacies of EE has been too tiring to contemplate.
However, I couldn’t stand the nagging thought in the back of my head that something was being left undone (it was a bit like when you avoid doing the washing or ironing), so eventually I bit the bullet and dug into the documentation and tutorials to see what EE is all about. Gaining an understanding of how EE works seemed very daunting at first, but like anything, once you get into it and begin to play around, things begin to full into place (although I’m not sure that I’ve had the “light bulb moment” that the EE team constantly refer to as yet).
Anyway, “royby.com” and “a weblog about weblogging” are now both powered by EE but I’m still on a steep learning curve as I look over the myriad of plug-ins, extensions and modules available to me. I’m also contemplating a change to the overall navigation set-up and of course there is the image gallery to get back up and running. A lot of work to come yet and a general lack of time in which to do it. However, I’ll keep plugging away at it.
The great thing is that comments are now working properly, so please, leave me a comment, as is the member registration set up.
