Housewarming

Last few days I had to tinker with the site quite a bit. Troubles, cer­tainly, were some­what wel­come. First, I finally registered and moved to the proper domain (theug.pp.ru). Secondly, fine-tuned the lib­rary. Thirdly, screwed CMS to the site.

For quite a while Tex­t­pat­tern has caught my fancy, how­ever, due to host­ing lim­it­a­tions I didn’t man­age to install it in one set­ting. Ere I went into search and query, I decided to give Word­Press a shot, as my friend recommended.

Install­a­tion and adjust­ment took even less time than Word­Press’ “Fam­ous 5-Minute Install”, everything star­ted to work straight away and without par­tic­u­lar trouble, aside from hindrances of the host­ing itself. Com­par­ing func­tion­al­ity “out of the box”, both sys­tems are quite sim­ilar, how­ever Word­Press seems some­what cum­brous and tem­plate edit­ing looks more difficult.

But, as I am lazy, it’s three o’clock in the morn­ing, and Word­Press by and large makes a nice impres­sion, I think to leave it at that, and work as it is. The order of work shall be as follows:

1. Fill the site with mater­i­als from the past, some of which hasn’t been published.
2. Think out the ori­ginal design.
3. Organ­ize multi-ligual sup­port, which shall include both indi­vidual tem­plates, and cus­tom­isa­tion of typo­graphy mod­ule (for instance, so that in Rus­sian ver­sion quotes would be such as: « „ ” », and in Eng­lish — such as: “ ‘ ’ ”).

Since I’m no man of exper­i­ence in these affairs (affairs of Word­Press in par­tic­u­lar and PHP in gen­eral), any help is wel­come. Write, Shura, write. And here — lights-out.
