Visiting Friends
Thank you all of my friends who have offered to let me stash some of my stuff with you!
I found out where I'm living for the next month. It's only a few blocks away from where I live now, and I've heard that it's large enough to hold all of my stuff.
Awesome.
Wordpress
So, in trying to decide between WordPress and Drupal, I've realized the main difference between the two. While Drupal has all the features to be a blog, it really shines as a community portal. I'm not sure that I could take full advantage of those features as I don't plan on having that much community interaction. I really like a bunch of the features like calendar, photo albums, and the large library of available modules, however most of those features have become redundant.
Calendars have been replaced with Google Calendars.
Photo Albums have been replaced by Flikr (Also Google, hmm).
Hmm...
Maybe I should just switch to wordpress? I'm not sure I need all of these bells and whistles.
FCK Works!
Excellent! The FCK Editor - allowing me a WYSIWYG editor for all of my postings. Let's check the image thing. Unfortunately, it doesn't support uploading images. That'll come next.
I promise real content once I have this set up the way I'd like.
Attached is the subject from Die Kunst der Fuga - as a test for the uploading.
(Realized I'm logged in as my administrator account - need to propagate permissions :()
Wondering how Blogs
Differ from regular stories.
First - no FCKeditor.
Second - it allows people to keep track of posts by username vs. all on the stage. That will be useful when -or- if I have other users on the site.
Anyway, Laundry Calls. Followed by packing.
