Well I finally updated this site. I’m fairly happy with the graphics. The original plan was to have the sidebar menu visible also in the forum (that’s why I made this site wider), however it was too confusing for the eyes so I ended up hiding it. I’ll have to play around some more with the forum layout but for now it’s going to stay like it is, only some polishing will be done.

I updated the forum (SMF) to version 1.1.4 and switched the main site engine from Drupal to WordPress. I only need a simple engine that can handle blog posts and pages, WordPress does that very nicely. The biggest reason why I switched to WP was it’s ease of use. It’s very easy and comfortable to create new themes and plug-ins to it. Also WP is supported by Windows Live Writer which makes updating the content a lot easier.

If you have any thoughts or ideas for this site, let me know

Well, the site update is still not done. I wasn’t happy with the graphics I had done so it’s back to the drawing board. I was on a vacation pretty much the whole August. In this month I’ll be doing some fundamental changes to my life. Those changes will hopefully have a positive effect on the development speed of CE and other planned projects.

Anyway, the goal of this fall is to have CE at version 0.90. That version should have multi-language support and options dialog. After that it’s time to prepare for version 1.0 with plug-in support and such

Currently I’m working with 0.81 beta 1. I decided to add the built-in translation editor into the version 0.81.

Just some notes on what’s going on. I’m going to update this site pretty soon, maybe on this weekend. I decided to use WordPress as the engine because it’s really easy and pleasurable to customize and hack, at least compared to Drupal. This time the theme will be a bit darker and more wider. It’s about 900 pixels width which might be a problem for some. I’m thinking of adding an option to switch it into a narrower mode though.

Progress notes are going to move from the forum to the main site, maybe into the blog. I’m still not quite sure how everything will going to be but it should be better than the current solution. Also the todo list is going to change. I’m currently writing a project management program that will take over the todo list. The new solution will integrate into the forum so it’s easier for me to add new todo items, and also it gives us the opportunity to create personal progress pages. That way one could easily keep track and monitor the issues he/she reported.

Anyway, I’m having few week break of CE and then start to do plans for the next move.
