We are back.
After looking at numerous options, I decided to switch to WordPress for g5center. I’m not a huge fan of WordPress, but it’s workable for now.
The good:
- WordPress is much faster on PHP 7.3
- Using a bootstrap theme is relatively harmless
- The new WordPress editing system (blocks) is kind of helpful
- Security is maintained decently
The bad:
- WordPress themes almost universally stink
- The site isn’t as clean as I would like
- I don’t like the shortened articles on the main blogpage
- Categories and tags are probably overkill
- We lost all those wonderful old comments
For now, most of the content has been transferred over. I did remove a few entries on the Hardware, System, Office, etc pages, because they didn’t have links or just felt extraneous at this point. I may add those back. I do have a backup of the old site, so I will continue to move any information over. All of the articles have been moved over, and everything is searchable. So, go wild.
Stay tuned. SimpleMarkPPC news incoming.
I guess I will be the first to comment! I’ve been following this blog a lot recently after digging up my old PowerBook G4, and to my surprise, I’ve found it quite helpful. Thanks for all the good information!
I saw that the powerPC archive moved to Weebly, is that not an option?
Thank you for your work
