Blog back online again- new software
Blog back online again- new software
The blog’s back online with new software, Expression Engine. Not that I really felt like writing anything the last month or so, but to the dumbasses who hacked my pMachine installation, uh, dude, I keep backups. Anyway, I’ve had to dump pMachine because it’s outdated and vulnerable to hacking. Expression Engine is made by the same people and I’m not too sure I like it yet - this is the second upload of it because it allowed me to dump everything by clicking one innocuous-sounding button in the control panel screen. To recover, I had to dig through and edit some php config files - which a well-written control panel would keep me from doing, not force me into doing. I’ve barely played with the EE software and already found other small annoyances. There’s stuff like category assignments, links, and pictures that didn’t transfer from pMachine right, either, but instead of fixing all that I still plan to archive everything and start fresh - “real soon now.”
So anyway, I’ve asked my server guru, who happens to be my daughter, to install Wordpress to see if I like it any better. We’ll see.
