We originally set the Wenblog up on Wordpress.com, but have since decided to install it on our own host. We’re updating all the site links accordingly.
Out with the old: wenex.wordpress.com
In with the new: wenex.com/wenblog
I am still also working on tidying up the layout for the blog, bringing it closer to a happy marriage between the Wordpress style we had, and the core Wenex layout. But then the best feature of the best sites are their malleability; the capability of the webmaster to make subtle yet powerful adjustments without adversely affecting the overall browsing experience.
Learning the Wordpress platform in general has been a great and rewarding challenge. I probably don’t need to sell a whole lot of people on the application, but would still highly recommend it for blog publishing. And I’m still constantly uncovering new functionality and utility, which only serves to strengthen my attachment to it.
And while I’m working on the blog’s layout and functionality, I just know I’ll be inspired to build on its content!
This is the first true post of the Wenex Blog. So it should be somewhat introductory in nature.
The closest thing we’ve ever done to this is our Knowledge base in prior iterations of wenex.com. Writing articles for it were a lot of fun, but recently, I wanted to do more with it. In particular:
- Create some more “editorial” or off-the-cuff contributions to the Knowledge Base.
- Allow for reader interaction (partly to see if anyone was actually reading some of these articles!)
- Make it easier to search, cross-reference, and just plain find these articles.
And as the tired cliche goes, why reinvent the wheel? This wish list describes a weblog to the letter. So a weblog is clearly the way to go.
So please link us! Add us to your blogroll! We’ll be discussing the web, technology as it pertains to the web, business as it pertains to the web, and life, as it pertains to-well, you get the idea.
Best of all, if you would like to comment, we may take requests for future issues to address, as well as solicit additional contributors. This will be far more organic, more involved, and more dynamic than the Wenex Knowledge Base ever was, making it ever more exciting to work on as well.
