New Site Redux

I've been uncomfortable using bishopia.org to host my own site, because I meant it as an Egoboo-only site in the first place, and the domain name kind of reflects that. I stuck a blog on it mostly because I'd paid for it and not done anything else with it.

The domain name is coming up for renewal in April, and I'm not going to renew it. If anyone wants it, that'd be the time to grab it. :) In the meantime, I'm moving my personal stuff to a new domain, http://www.mohiji.org/.

The hosting service I'm using (NearlyFreeSpeech.NET) is quite a lot nicer than GoDaddy, and cheaper to boot. How weird is that? Anyway, I have a better hosting environment that can handle better software, so I want something that'll handle everything I want to do on the site. In no particular order, those things are:

• Host my programming projects.
• Blog
• A picture gallery.
• Maybe forums for the programming projects, but more likely not.
• Consistent visual style throughout the entire site.
  

Drupal (http://drupal.org/) fits the bill nicely, so that's what I've got running now. Everything I want is built-in, but if I want to improve things, the codebase is very clean and easy to extend. I haven't messed with theming yet, but it appears to be very straightforward. That's good, because I don't have a lot of patience for web design. :)

Anyway, the site's up now, and if my attention doesn't wander too far I'll be adding a lot in the upcoming weeks.
