Well I finally did it, and I said to heck with trying to convert. I will be posting old stories and trying to move as much content as I can from the old site to the new one.

For the geeks out there I was running Drupal 6 and have been plagued by lack of time to do necessary upgrades to the site, like keeping security patches up and all the modules (plug-ins for you WordPress people) so I decided I needed a new platform. I had used WordPress long ago, and it was previously a mainly HTML based blogging system, but it’s grown into a full content management system that is geared for ease of use.

I am not going to get in a war of Drupal vs. WordPress, they both have their advantages, but WordPress is going to be a better fit for me currently. I will am not going to post my entire iPhoto library, which Gallery 2 was good for, but I want to post some pictures, so the Gallery plugin that I have selected for WordPress fits the bill. I also want some pictures posted on the front page for news for everyone to see, as well as a blog area that I can do more specific posts that may not necessarily need to be on the front page.

Looks like WordPress is going to fit the bill for me. Look for a few new posts in the next few days and then more as I get the hang of it.
