Pardon the mess as I move to WordPress and Theme Hybrid / Skeleton
Over the next few days, I’ll have the new blog coming together, built on Theme Hybrid, a WordPress theme framework. I’ll be using the “Skeleton” child theme which is really just the raw output of WordPress with all the HTML tags in place, together with a complete bucket load of empty CSS styles ready for me to fill in. This will be an experiment! I’m used to coding from scratch, but the classes and reasonably semantic names of the HTML tags of Theme Hybrid should make this a relatively easy endeavor.
I couldn’t bare to look at the temporary theme with no header up there on top of the new blog, so I tossed my new header (which is wraping because it was too short). So, yeah, the site looks befuddled as of 9/03/2009. Don’t let that fool you!
Nice decision in moving to wordpress rather than staying in expression engine. It still nice environment though and thanks for your experience it really helps me a lot and I will stay in wordpress just like what you’ve said “time is limited, and time is money”.
They are both great platforms, but Expression Engine can do blogs well, but WordPress does them with much greater ease. If you want an integrated dynamic site AND blog, EE is the way to go, as making different “blogs” in one blog is a lot harder in in WP. In EE, multiple “blogs” is native and customizing them is done right on the backend. So easy. Not so much in WP. So, as I usually, say, use the right tool for the right job. Straight ahead blogging is WP all the way…
