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.
Awesome blog!
I thought about starting my own blog too but I’m just too lazy so, I guess I‘ll just have to keep checking yours out.
LOL,
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.
