As some of you may know, I like technology, so I tend to play around with it a lot. One of my favorite ‘playtime’ activities is to completely rebuild one of the many sites I administer; and rebuilding my blog is always the most fun.

You see, I usually can’t just settle for some simple blog platform. I always tend to find some far-reaching justification for needing low-level JDBC integration or some other minute feature that I never end up needing. This being the case, my blog has always been run on one flavor or another of CMS (Content Management System).

CMSs are fantastic! (When really needed) However, I have finally gulped the Kool-Aid and moved to a strict blogging platform (WordPress).  To be very honest I’m still not completely comfortable with the sad security feature-set (and lacking base security for that matter), but then again, I am always paranoid, always. Perhaps this virtual move will encourage me to write some security focused code for WordPress… we’ll see.
