I have been away for a few weeks working on the transition of Lightroom Secrets from Drupal to WordPress! It has been an adventure in php and CSS. Why did I make this change you ask?
Drupal is an excellent Content Management System. And I continue to use it for many other sites I run. It is extremely powerful and flexible. With all that power and flexibility, however, come some great webmaster responsibilities. It is still my CMS of choice for sites that require a lot of community interaction and participation. But it is not the first choice for sites with a small number of authors (or a single author for that matter!).
That led me on a search for blogging platforms. Of all that I examined WordPress stood head and shoulders above the rest! Easy to install. Easy to use. Easy to extend. Just plain easy!
Not wanting to just migrate to a template that wasn’t uniquely Lightroom Secrets I mustered my somewhat basic/rusty knowledge of CSS and php and started creating my own theme. And that is what you see today!
Everything seems to work so far but I am sure I haven’t tested every aspect. So… I’d like to ask for your help. If you find some parts where the theme breaks or just doesn’t render correctly, please use the contact form and let me know what you found and what browser you where using. I’ve tested in Safari, Firefox, and IE 7. IE 6 users would be especially helpful.
Thanks for your patience and feedback! Stay tuned for new posts!
