Back to Drupal Again
I had converted my blog back to Wordpress a couple of months ago and I liked how it looked and was easy to access using mobile tools. The problem with it was that I could not do some things that I wanted to do with Wordpress that were trivial when using Drupal. You take things like CCK and Views for granted when you don't have them. For instance, I keep a list on my site of the names of people that I walk in support or in memory of when I walk in the Komen 3-Day. I could not find an easy way to keep that list in Wordpress but it was very simple in Drupal. Define a custom content type to store the names of the person and how I now them. Then setup a view to only show the names. 5 mimute effort with Drupal but really not easily done unless you use a commercial Wordpress module. So back to Drupal it is. I have pretty much finished up making the changes that I wanted to my blog and I have something that will work for now.
