Bad Advice for Good People

Why hello there fellow Deviants!

No doubt, you’ve probably noticed that there’s been some changes to the site lately. Well, we decided that going with Wordpress made more sense than Blogger, mostly due to the fact that we wanted more finite control of the site. Nothing against Blogger though, it’s a great platform.

We’ve also added in the DISQUS comment system. We decided to go with DISQUS since it’s a great system and actually reduces some of the load on our site since it won’t have to constantly paginate comments. We also did it because people are wanting to have things centralized and comments are fast-becoming part of that list. For the time being we are allowing people to post without having accounts at DISQUS, but we’re pretty sure that this will change. You’re welcome to sign up at DISQUS of course, but it’s not necessary at this time.

Of course, we’re still using Twitter for article announcements, so feel free to follow us and get the latest as it happens.

Finally, we are considering using FeedBurner to reburn our feeds. Mostly this is to get an idea of how many subscribers we have, but we’re not 100% committed to this idea just yet. We’ll let you know.

And that’s about it for now. We’re still working on some content and, as always, encourage you to Write Us.
