Two switches in one weekend

Along with the switch to Wordpress, I have also moved MobileHippie.com to my Dreamhost account. UplinkEarth still has a couple of my sites, but I’m consciously making an effort to move anything that uses Wordpress to a Linux server running Apache so that I get the full power of the software.

IIS and Wordpress were not meant for each other. I’m not really sure why ULE decided to make Wordpress a one-click install on their shared Windows hosting. It doesn’t work properly as there is no PHP mail function and there is no ability to use formated permalinks. Seems like a poor business choice to offer something that’s basic functionality isn’t supported.

    Hamil, good to hear from you. Long time not “here” would be a very accurate description of the attention I’ve given this website. Since I started project managing, I’ve spent very little time on my own design work.

    Your site is looking pretty sweet. I hope you are up and rolling. I think your design sensibility has a lot to offer. Drop me a line some time and we can meet for coffee–or beer–in Portland.

    Cheers.
