Nerd!

This is nerd stuff, and probably unimportant to most people. 

I have two main sites.  I have my blog at Grinningskull.com and my “professional site” at PhilRickaby.com.  Both of them have extremely different designs right now.  I’d like to have them compliment each other.  When I look at the sites, GrinningSkull has the more striking design, so I’ve decided that I’d like to make PhilRickaby.com look more like GrinningSkull.

Here’s the catch though (and where the nerd-speak starts, for those of you looking to tune out): both sites use different Content Management Systems.  GS uses Wordpress while PR uses Joomla.  Wordpress and Joomla use very different templating systems, so its not like you can just take one template and slap it into another.  Its a matter of having to take the one template apart, and then put it back together again as a template for the new CMS.

It can be pretty headache inducing.

And of course, that’s exactly what I’m doing right now.  Or trying to do.

For those of you keeping track, yes this does mean that I am not writing at the moment.  The play sits waiting for me to return to it.  This is another project - and yes…its procrastination.  I’m very good at making procrastination look productive.  But I promise I’ll get back to writing soonish.  I have to.  The characters in the play keep popping into my head demanding some attention.
