Bye bye Joomla, hello WordPress!

I was talking about it a few weeks ago, and as you might have noticed, I’ve finally made the decision in favor of WordPress, since I found a nice free template for WordPress. Potentially WordPress might have less possibilities than Joomla, but for blogging it is more than enough. The backend is very clear and simple to use. Transition from Joomla 1.0.x was in fact much easier than expected. The import tool for WordPress worked flawlessly, it took 30s to import all my joomla posts.

If I had to compare, the actual writing part is about the same on Joomla and WordPress, but as I said earlier, backend is clearer, and as WordPress is in my opinion much more popular than Joomla for blogging, the community is much more active, it’s very easy to find extensions.

Some stuff are still not working on the website, like the “Subscribe by Email” part.

There is a new gallery, using picsengine. Best gallery I’ve used so far, maybe it is just missing a WordPress plugin =D .

Since I’ve moved to WordPress, I keep trying to post every day. Before it used to be a pain in the a** but actually now it’s not much of a big deal. As long as I still have ideas about what to blog about, I believe I can keep up.
