When I say that, what I mean is I want one that is aestehtically pleasing. So what I did was sift through a bunch of free themes on random websites. Found one I liked, edited the images a bit to remove the “apple” logos that someone thought necessary to have there, added a line of code here and there and turned it on. Too bad it broke everything.

This was before I had brought any of my posts across from my previous website, but the pages it generated were completely indpendent of the ones I listed in the backend, the links were wrong, basically it looked hard coded to display certain things, and didn’t really care what you did with regards to posts.

In any case, I went back to the default theme and have now loaded most/all of the posts, now I need to find a nice theme, that works properly, that I can edit and get to do my bidding!

Yes, as promised, I have a wordpress account up and running, this will be the third iteration of this website, the previous two are/will stay running for a while, to keep up appearances, but for all intents and purposes the new website will be located at blog.gcawood.com, in a month or so I will get gcawood.com to redirect there. I’m still busy adapting the chosen theme, and then I’ll start copying all the content across, don’t want to lose that.

Also I’m on holiday, oh and threw this little start page together for myself.

I decided it was time to transfer to WordPress. Why? Not a hundred percent sure, but I think it’s better from a Googling point of view, and it’s also got pretty graphs which give a nice indication of individual articles viewed etc.

At the moment only the website is up, I still need to transfer all the data from the previous Joomla install, which is staying right where it is for a month or two, although I will link profusely to this website.

First off it’s exam time, thus me posting now, instead of studying. secondly I have a new home for next year. A lovely little home right opposite the faculty I get to share with 7 other people. 7 people who I only recently met for the first time.

They don’t appear to be crazy, but we’ll obviously see that next year. Meeting up with them again next week to try and sort out rooms. Thirdly, I have a skripsie! Yay! And coincidently it was my first choice. “Two axis camera control system”. Will post more about it later, but for now I’m happy, lecturer seems pretty cool too, involved with Stellenbosch’s Media Lab.

In any case, I had pledged to post at least once a month. That didn’t happen. I have however decided to explore WordPress a bit. So may end up redoing this website. Will give it a nicer look too. I also need work for the holidays. Anyone randomly reading this some how who wants to offer a 3rd Mechatronic Engineer some work for 4 weeks let me know :)
