I guess it’s the scourge of age. You get comfortable with something and as time goes on the resistance to change increases. But in the technology world, there is no such thing. You simply can’t get too comfortable.
I had been using a very simple – almost primitive – blog authoring program which served me well over the years. It was very accessible on both the front end and the back end when the prevailing big boys in the field were still asking how to spell accessibility.
There were a few quirks with that application and I set about today to fix them. As you may have guessed, that five minute project turned into a nightmare. So the long story short is I’ve jumped ship and installed Word Press. This template that I am using is supposed to produce valid XHTML and CSS 3.0; in which case it should be full accessible. I’ll be checking it over the next few days and giving you a complete report.
But the good news is that Word Press is an absolute delight in terms of depth, design and functionality. Adding and updating themes and widgets is a breeze and making changes to the settings a delight. And it makes the posting process so easy.
Being the Brooklyn-born cynic, I’m waiting for the other shoe to fall.
We’ll keep you posted.
