Well, after letting lebaige.com sit idle for months, I’ve finally renewed work on the site. What’s been done? A complete change from the ground up. Now, I liked the old setup, and believe me I put a TON of work into getting it the way I want it. Unfortunately the problem is what I just said .. it was a TON of work. Who has time for that?

Gone is .. well .. everything that was here before. We’re now running on the very easy to use blogging software WordPress. Instead of the two months it took me to get the old site up and running, this one took me about two hours. Sure, I didn’t custom design this one much, but I think my nerd ego can handle the bruise of using someone elses work once it realizes how much free time it now has to devote to other nerdly persuits.

I moved the website to a new host, which I must say has been a huge improvement from the provider we were using before. We’re now faster, we have more storage capacity, we have more control, and most importantly, everything works.

Also changed is the general focus of the website. My original plan was for lebaige.com to serve as a portal for the entire family. I’ve since then realize that outside of my home, most LeBaige’s don’t really have much of a need for an internet portal. The site is now going to be more of a focus on my little chunk of the family.

Finally, keep in mind, I’m never really done with something like this. As usual, feedback is welcome.
