In my ongoing quest to make my website not look like total ass, I made a new skin in Xara Web Builder and converted it to WordPress over the course of several days. So far I’m fairly happy with the results, although I need to fix the fonts and some other things.

WordPress is an amazing blog, and can be modified into an amazing CMS as well. I would definitely recommend that others use it. The only small drawback is that you need to have a passable grasp of PHP to fully turn it into a CMS. Create an account at the WordPress support forum and the folks there will step you through it.

So what’s next for the Empty World site, which, by the way, gets the traffic of a good-sized country (assuming said country has been depopulated by a moderate to severe holocaust/plague)? Well, I have a few ideas. I’ll break promises left right and center, not update for six months, piss off what few readers I have left, then maybe I’ll take the whole site down for just for fun and redirect viewers to a Rick Astley music video. Stay tuned!
