Notice a change?

Well, not only has the layout changed for the site, the backend system has been migrated from WordPress to the Drupal Content Management Framework.

WordPress is a pretty good system for publishing simple blogs, but I found that extending it to support more complex posts and site configuration wasn't all that easy. Doing a bit of research, and after playing around with a couple of other systems, I picked out Drupal.

It isn't quite as out of the box as WordPress is, but it does allow a lot more control, and the plugin/module system for Drupal makes for a highly flexible site setup. It only took a few hours to do the setup and transfer the posts from the WordPress blog (there are a couple of automated tools, but they were a little flakey, unfortunately).

RandomTweak was the first production site to be updated, but I'll be replacing HorusKol soon, too (looking to be extremely interesting with the photo and image albums there).
