I’ve updated the website backend. WordPress has been upgraded to version 2.0, and I replaced the Invisionboard Forums with the Open-Source k4BB [k4bb.org].
The biggest thing I’ve noticed with the move to WordPress 2.0 is the WYSIWYG editor. Finally – no need for lots of HTML coding if I want something to look a certain way. It also features a few nifty graphical updates. The transition was extremely painless – you write over the old files with the new install, and use a certain special upgrade PHP page. That’s it. I’m also planning to do a few tweaks to the Mambo frontend. Namely adding an RSS feed for the forums.
Update: Ran into serious issues with k4BB, and will have to reinstall it. Looks like the db got corrupted. Meanwhile, I’m back to the old software.
Update – Feb 21: Fixed WordPress bug. You can now post comments again!
