Reblog 2.0

I started this personal website long before true blogging software existed. Eventually, I spent a weekend converting it all into WordPress. Maybe now I’ll have one less excuse for neglecting it.

Note: Some funky linkages exist between the new blog articles and old content references. I’ll be ironing these out as I tweak and polish. Apologies in advance if something breaks on you.


Hindsight in 2025

Looking back, moving to WordPress was a practical decision. In the late 2000s, it was one of the most accessible content management systems, and many of my customers wanted to use it. Learning it firsthand helped me support them more effectively.

Around the same time, CSS3 and HTML5 were emerging, and I dove in headfirst. I absolutely overused and abused CSS3’s new features—gradients, border-radius, drop shadows, opacity, background effects—you name it. If it had a shiny new property, I found a way to work it in. While it was fun to experiment, in hindsight, restraint would have been a better approach. Live and learn!
