04/01/07(11h43)- its hard to believe again, but its been nearly an entire quarter that ive sidelined smalrus.com. however, i’ve got different plans for it this year. for starters, im an eyeing a migration to the popular wordpress format come september, for the 10th anniversary of the smalrus website (hard to believe its come this far. those beginning times were posts nearly every 10 minutes). the fact of the matter is, my website is becoming completely obsolete in the age of web 2.0 and to do the various features i’d like the site to have, i have no choice but to either hire my own site developer or to capitulate to the fact that i cannot program for the next generation and take a simpler step. i dont have the time to advance myself to the stage at which web development is currently at (end with preposition). thus sometime in the next year, the things on this page will start to gradually undergo their first major design overhaul in about 5 years. because lets face it, theres no easy way now to do commenting, to do permalinks, to do rss feeds, or any host of things that web 2.0 lets one do. in this way, ill be able to integrate more site features to move with the direction of the internet. besides, web pages used to be about designing and building the site, but that is outmoded. now its about dynamicism and content and what you can do with the site.
