Good work wordpress team ! I decided to upgrade my wordpress at once. Check out the difference !
Previously (Wordpress 2.6)
New layout (Wordpress 2.7)
Keep up the good work !
I hate reinventing the wheel. That’s why i decided to migrate this blog to wordpress. It takes alot of effort to write your own symfony plugin that holds the functionality of a full stack blogging platform (like wordpress, typepad, blogger …).
The Symfony Story
Initially we started by using the simpleBlogPlugin and modifying it to our needs. Some of the things we added :
- multilanguage support : different posts in english / dutch
- tag cloud : although they did add this in the new version
- author information : links to digg/linkedin profile
- tag / category pages
- some SEO basics (different descriptions/keywords per post/page)
- seperate rss feeds (for tag/description/author pages)
- summary/excerpt support
- …
Then why change to wordpress ?
To keep this all updated with the changing symfony framework takes some time. Adding common features popular blogging platforms offer (comment, askimet integration, image editing, …) is a huge job. Thats why i decided to “migrate” this blog to wordpress.
I did a little hacking here & there to have it support multiple languages, created a custom theme (holding the old digitalbase theme layout) and added some clearly missing core functions.
I’ll do a followup post with the things i changed and some code.
