I haven’t written in a while and let my blog get a little stale. Granted, I’ve had way too much going on between starting a new job (kinda), moving to LA from SD, traveling, and everything in between.

I just upgraded this site to WordPress v2.2.1. Before it was running v2.1.2. Although we are extensively using Drupal at work with the aim of building an internal platform of sorts, I decided to stick with WordPress for my blog for a few reasons:

• I’d like to stay familiar with WordPress since it’s one of the largest open-source php/mysql projects in the tech world.
• It’s easier to setup and maintain a WordPress blog.
• I didn’t want the hassle of exporting all my content into Drupal.

Being said, it was a bit tempting to drink the Drupal “kool-aid”, so-to-speak. We are working with some of the best Drupal folks in the community, namely Bryght and Firebright. Additionally, I’ve leaned a lot about the Drupal framework, worthy modules, themeing, etc. Logically speaking, rebuilding my own site in Drupal would help to solidify my Drupal tech know-how and retain that knowledge.

However, at the fear of “putting all my eggs in one basket”, I’d like to keep my horizon broadened, so WordPress it is!

Btw, I am posting this from Ecto. This seems like a very sweet program, and could make blogging much easier.
