A Walk in Castlefield, Manchester.

I’m just home from a sunny morning’s walk around Castlefield. Although bitterly cold, it was a beautiful morning and Sam, Dunkan and I took the opportunity to get some photos.

Ben’s gone all WordPress

With being a .NET person, I’ve persevered with BlogEngine for a couple of years but have always been disappointed with its functionality; which possibly explains why I’ve not posted much in the last year.

After hearing so many good things about WordPress, mostly from the guys over at AI Digital on their Internet Marketing Podcast, I’ve decided to make the switch.

So here I am, an hour or so after install and I’m running a blog with infinitely better looks (thank you Digital Nature) and functionality with very little effort at all. WordPress has even been happy to import all by old blog data via RSS, though I had to manually get old comments in.

This of course forces the question, why the hell haven’t I done this before?
