Spent all evening on fiddling with the possible new theme for my business blog, aka the Branford Magazine Style.

One of the reasons I want to switch is that I have too many readers that come via search engines but don't stay for more than one article. In addition, I want to include ads for one (or more?) of my techwriting partner companies and I need space in the sidebar for that.

Unfortunately, I don't have as much clue about themes and PHP as people generally think, so my fiddling has not yet solved all problems... but I'm hopeful :) At least I have a clean XAMPP and fresh blog installation on my computer now; I had so much old garbage around that a complete reinstall was called upon.

Amusing link of the day: Star Trek's 10 Cheesiest Classic Creatures.

Also, went through many lows and few highs over the day, with frequently installing and deinstalling stuff. Redaxo's admin frontend does nada for me, but Drupal looks nicer. Now testing Wordpress (which is for blogs, not a normal CMS).

*wild testing mood*

EDIT: Ooooh, I'm so proud! My first own Wordpress installment at:
http://www.memory-prime.de/wordpress/

All you need is a MySQL database on your webserver. Setting up is beautifully explained at the Wordpress website. This is a software that makes fun!

EDIT 2: Instead of installing CMS for testing, you can test many free ones here: http://opensourcecms.com/
