I am thinking of a site re-do. Or rework. 

I have had the site up for a while now and I have a good bit of content. I am, however thinking of taking it all down, putting everything back in a little nicer fashion and picking things up from there. 

Originally I was just thinking to re-do the look of the site. Put together a new theme and logo and all that. Now I see there is a much newer version of Joomla!, which I am using for the software for the site. Now while it looks like I can jump through a bunch of hoops and upgrade from my current version to the new one, it does not look like it is going to be easy. In fact, it looks like I will spend as much time upgrading the site as I will backing things up and uploading them again all from scratch.

And loading everything again from scratch is just how I may do it. I know it means I will lose all my statistics on the different articles, and I will have to add a note to them all as to when they were originally posted just for reference. But it would allow for some clean up and some reorganization of the site.

I do not look for the site re-do to be a small task. It will take some time to get everything prepared and ready to go before I take things down and then bring them backup up again. I hope to get working on it soon. Once things are ready, I will post a notice for a day or two, maybe even a week if I get that organized. 

I recently revisited Entropia Universe and more specifically Planet Calypso. What I found interesting was that it really holds true that the more things change the more they stay the same.

If what I have seen and the release notes are any indication, then the developers are putting a lot of time in creating and improving content. If you were in Entropia a couple of years ago and are just going back, in many ways it's a different world.

I made mention in my article on Word Press that I am using a plugin called "WP to Twitter". At the time I noted that it didn't seem to work for articles that were scheduled to post instead of posted immediately.

I am please to note that an update has since been released that appears to resolve that issue. My most recent scheduled article did indeed issue the Twitter post when it published. 

I just setup a new blog and decided to try out WordPress.

I am using WordPress 3.2.1 at the moment using one of the templates that comes with it.

Installation was a breeze as I use GoDaddy for my hosting company and as part of their service they have a service called "Hosting Connection" which allows for reasonably automated installation of various software for your website. I've used it several times before for other installations including this one.
