So, here we are. Using WordPress and everything and yeah I’m fully behind it now. Just keep in mind that it’s (probably) not promoting simplicity in code. Besides that, everything is neat. Michael installed a sourcecode highlighter which you can view in this post. I like it.

Now about Google AdSense, it’s something new we both want and to be very honest I did click on some AdSense links before (when browsing for my coilgun’s capacitor) so hey, they could be useful and make us a bit of profit while we’re add it. All the “profit” will be used for keeping this site up anyway, not that it’s that expensive, but it isn’t a free neither.

Besides that, Michael’s got his week ‘o tests this week, so there won’t be a lot of work made on our secret project, though that’s mostly my job now anyways since I must admit I’ve been slacking of a bit. That doesn’t mean I didn’t do anything, just not anything useful, hahaha.

We’ll keep you posted!

Does that mean it’s not neat… No. It has XML-RPC, which is without a doubt really cool. Amongst that, the admin panel isn’t bad, it has a lot of nice functions, etc. etc.

I just don’t think it belongs within the “Simple” software. So if we use it, please be advised. WordPress code is NOT simple. It is very user friendly and neat.

Now, one last thing: fatal logic error on previous post: Michael thinks we can’t deside about what engine to use, which is probably correct, but then he (and only he) decides the users can vote for it. Well I’ll just be an ass and say I won’t let the users choose, so we can’t decide on that either. Done.

But fine whatever, we’ll stick with the 6MB gigantic monsterosity called WordPress for putting TEXT on a webpage. And the “Add New Category” is convienent. And we’ll be busy with other stuff anyway. Like visiting girlfriends. And punishing unwilling colleagues for not working on the all important coilgun project.

Unfortunately, Nick doesn’t really like WordPress. While I prefer WordPress, he prefers SimpleLog. He told me that SimpleLog’s admin panel was a lot better than WordPress. And the few features he did like he wanted to write for SimpleLog. Interesting he didn’t like WordPress widgets. That while he asked for modularity when we started .simplicity.

But it looks like we won’t be able to make a decision on the blogging engine together. So I’ll leave the decision up to the readers of .simplicity.

– Michael
