This 'N That

When I first launched this site a few months ago, I knew that eventually i’d need to add a blog feature to update the site easily and posting my thoughts quickly without playing around with the PHP and HTML code, I considered writing my own simple CMS (it will happen some day… I just don’t have the time for that right now) or using WordPress, it’s the most powerful blogging tool I know, but making WP themes is quite time-consuming, and I wanted to use the design I already worked on so hard to make and modify. I’ve seen Blogger blogs before, but they seemed to be very unprofessional and use default templates (that I have to admit, look really good) but today I tried it out, and here’s the result. all I had to do was copy the contents of my regular PHP header and footer and paste a few extra lines of code into the file and the CSS file, log into Blogger.com and post this! the setup part took 3 minutes, writing this took more… I haven’t really modified the styles to fit the site design yet, so hold on. too bad it saves the archived files as .HTML so I cant use my regular PHP header and footer includes, and that means that I have to update the template every time i change something in the site design. oh well…

Edit: as you can see, i have since moved my blog to WordPress, but i decided to leave this I really liked Blogger, but WP works better for me.
