I’m on vacation for three weeks starting today. It’s the best time of the year! 🙂
I want to make good use of this free time to make some changes here on LoneStar.it. Actually I’ve made up my mind thinking that there’s no more reason to keep using Xoops to manage the site. This because the most part of the site is managed by WordPress, embedded within Xoops by a module. Unfortunately this module is developed by a japanese community which doesn’t publish much in english, and it takes a lot of work to adjust the latest versions. Furtherly, if I’m using WordPress for the most, then why not moving to bare WordPress and quit dealing with adjustments?
Another thing is that most of recent modules which integrate content from the most famous social network sites like Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, etc. are mainly developed for WordPress. I do use many social networks and I’d like to add content from them on my site without too much hassle.
WordPress will also give me better tools for a bilingual website, allowing to easily write posts in two languages and link posts in italian to their translated version in english, manage bilingual categories and tags, etc.
That’s why in the upcoming days I’m going to migrate LoneStar.it to WordPress, trying to save previous content and taking the chance to experiment some new aestetics.
Wish me good work!
