  • Why the move to Drupal?

    Posted on July 22, 2006 at 00:29 +0200 Tagged with , , ,

    First of all: I didn't move away from WordPress because I think it is a bad system. In fact IMO WordPress is an excellent tool for people who want to have a simple way to publish posts. But think about following situation: From time to time I want to write a product review, for example about a book. How would you do something like that in WordPress? By using the custom fields. One for the author and one for the isbn as well as one for the rating itself. In Drupal you can do the same thing in a fast and easy and a slow and quite custom way: flexinode or by writing your own module for let's say a bookreview. Such a module could then also offer you a custom form for writing book reviews. Don't get me wrong: This is possible with WordPress, too, as plugins like StructuredBlogging have shown, but IMO it's quite hacky.

  • s/WP-Gatekeeper/Akismet

    Thanks to the amount of TrackBack spam I received lately I've now replaced WP-Gatekeeper with Akismet. I really hope that this will help here. If it doesn't I will have to disable TrackBacks altogether :-(

  • Blogging on Got-next.com

    Seems like blogging is getting more an more popular with gaming sites. No, I don't mean sites like [Kotaku] which are basically gaming blogs, but I mean the more traditional places for gamers on the web like [GameSpot][] and [1up][].

  • Giving StructuredBlogging for WordPress a try

    Posted on April 17, 2006 at 04:17 +0200 Tagged with , ,

    Another entry into the "Giving (.*?) a try" series ;) This time's topic is the StructuredBlogging plugin for WordPress.

    StructuredBlogging is an initiative bringing to you means to blog in a more semantic way giving automated aggregators some new ways to categorize your content. For example if you want to review something, you write a review that can now also be recognized as such by automated aggregators.

  • Wordpress 2.0: The Love or Hate edition

    Posted on Jan. 6, 2006 at 09:07 +0100 Tagged with

    It's strange. Normally when a new version of a web application enters the net you see basically a general opinion about it. With Wordpress 2.0 you get both, good and bad reviews judging from what perspective the reviewer looks upon it.

    When I first tried it, I actually found nothing really special about it. Good, it had TinyMCE integrated, it has the upload form now directly under the posting textarea and other neat stuff, but nothing that I thought would be useful for my own blogging needs and habits. Then I suddenly really liked the TinyMCE integration and the upload feature just to disable it altogether just a few days later.

  • Preparing plugins for WP2.0

    Posted on Dec. 26, 2005 at 22:50 +0100 Tagged with , , ,

    With the release of WordPress 2.0 being imminent (at least that's how it looks like to me ;) ) I started to check all the plugins I'm using here a few days ago to make sure, that they all work with the new major release. After 2 days now I have only one plugin left: Eric Meyer's wp-gatekeeper, which I should have finished soon. So far only Jerome's keywords plugin required some debugging and updating (which took me quite some time though). Now I just hope, that WordPress 2.0 will be released soon :D Just too bad, that the RTE doesn't work with Safari :(

  • Categories vs. Tags in Wordpress

    Posted on Dec. 22, 2005 at 21:25 +0100 Tagged with , ,

    No, I won't really go down the road of comparing these two organisational ideas in general since other people with more knownledge in this area have probably done this already to the degree where it's no longer funny. Instead I simply won't to write a little bit of my own experience with blogging using Tags instead of Categories.
