Beyond the Rhetoric getting Wordpress’d

February 14th, 2007 by Michael Kwan

Just as the main MichaelKwan.com freelance writing services website received an extreme makeover, enabling it to be more search engine friendly (it did, after all, move up to the number one result when you search for “michael kwan” in Google) and easier to navigate for the humans in the audience, so will Beyond the Rhetoric. I’m saying goodbye to the nut jobs at GoDaddy and their obscure blog software, and jumping onto the bandwagon that has everyone — including dot com mogul John Chow — jumping over backwards. Wordpress, here I come!

I’ve been tweaking the design somewhat the past few days, ironing out the details of moving my hosting over to Flavour Studios and my domain registration to Gary Jones’ BlueFur. I’m trying to maintain a similar look, but improve upon it. No longer will you can strangely truncated posts on the front page, nor will you have to endure that not-so-pretty GoDaddy ad banner at the top of the page. Instead, you’ll get my pictures on the front page, my advertising, and my personalized sidebar.

I’m not 100% positive how long this process will take — the MichaelKwan.com redesign took longer than expected — but it’ll surely be ready to go (at least in beta stage) by the middle of next month. Wish me luck, folks.

If you’re interested in the work in progress, take a trip over here to take a gander. That link will of course be dead when the transition is complete.
