We hope it made it over in time. It’s a great deal larger than the average english section – everyone really came together on this.

Yay!!! It’s new years this weekend. More news on that to come….

I mean, it gets the job done, but, Joomla just seems a little bloated and clunky for what I want. And it’s a little ugly to me. Seems to work for some sites. Jerid’s site looks pretty good actually, but I just am not having a good time with it for the magazine.

So, that said, I’ve begun my journey to a hacked version of WordPress. Oh trusty WordPress. Why do I love this software so much… hahaha

I’ve found found a few good articles that will be a massive help:
O’Reilly – From Weblog to CMS with WordPress
&
Leon Kilat – How to use WordPress to run a magazine, news website
and so far, I’m likely going to use Bharath Kumar’s 3ColumnK2 template. K2 goodness, extra column to fit things into, widgets; seriously good stuff here.

So I’ve begun moving things over, making the changes needed so far. This is all in a test subdomain though, I’ll write again once it’s live. Also, I need to figure out a good way to integrate a nice looking photo gallery, event list, movie gallery (?), etc. I’ll keep you posted; wish me luck.
