The more observant among you might have noticed a change in the the site.

Given the rather stalled status of the blog development for Horus Kol, I’ve decided to take something off the shelf which gave me access to the features I was after. I decided on WordPress, as I’d had a little experience with that when I trialled it for my Random Tweak site. I had also had a look a couple of other alternatives, such as b2evolution, but they were either lacking in functionality, or were a bit too nuts and bolts (yes, I’m a developer, and I eat nuts and bolts for breakfast, but I’d much rather be posting on a personal blog and developing something else rather than continually tweaking something from off the shelf).

So, here we are. Getting the template to work took all of about an afternoon, and that was starting from zero knowledge on how to do it. No doubt, I will be making adjustments and pasting patches on the paintwork over the next few weeks.

I have added a gallery plugin, which I still need to tweak before I start showing any pictures off, and I have also found a neat little map plugin, but I want to play with that first before I can see how it might be useful. All of that will have to wait, however, since I’m tired and I don’t want to be cranky at the office tomorrow.
