WordPress at Home and at Work

I hope that this blog will be useful to the public someday.  But even if it isn’t, I’m glad to gain the experience in using WordPress.  I really impressed my boss the other day when I used WordPress to create a website for our research lab.  The software tools that they have been developing are ready for the public and they wanted me to create a simple website for publishing their work online.  I don’t think that they expected me to finish the site in half a day!  If you’d like to see it, it’s online here.  It was fun to use such a newly learned skill at work.  I decided to also take an online PHP class, just so that I can understand what goes in to making software like WordPress so powerful, yet simple.

    WordPress, from my experience, is held together mainly with magic and duct tape. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a decent system for light to medium traffic. But it tends to buckle under very very heavy load (500,000 – 1 Million hits/month) without any caching add-ons or modifications.
