One of my summer goals was to learn WordPress 3 and convert my websites to the new platform. I did master some of the basics of the new WordPress, but I didn’t get the chance to do the conversion. I set up my website for my classes (laurasells.net), though, and I was quite pleased that I could figure it all out. WordPress 3 was complicated until I got the hang of it.
I used the Hybrid theme framework, which made a huge difference.The Hybrid theme framework is free, but any support beyond the basic installation is only available if you buy a membership to the forums. That’s a disappointment and it rubs against my desire for open source free information.
One thing I do like about the new platform is that it incorporates many of the plugins I use. That’s a relief. I still don’t understand the nuances and subtleties, but I’m hoping to figure more of those out over the semester. I haven’t decided how much I intend to redesign Voxygen or just convert to WP3.
Something to ponder…
