Why the change?

Mediocre Minds needed to change for a number of reasons. Most than anything, I just don't have time to maintain and code elaborate layouts. I wanted something quick and easy. Similarly, I don't have time to write articles like I used to. So it all came down to ease-of-use. Unfortunately, the previous site engine - Drupal - was just not easy to work with.

Having used Tumblr a little, I was quick to jump on Chyrp and take it for a test run. Since it seemed to be running okay, I went ahead and waited for a MySQL update on my server and here I am, running it a day later.

Along with the backend changes, I will also be changing the kinds of things I post. I might still write longish articles, but expect more links, quotes, and code talk. Mediocre Minds may be more personal than it used to be... more of a blog, really.

I have to see if I can get Binkley his access sometime too.
