Finally updated to Drupal 5

Tue, 06/16/2009 - 7:56am — puregin

Finally updated my blog site to Drupal 5, after several years of "Oh, I'll have to get around to that one of these days". One of the main holdups was that some of the content was pretty messed up (by a very early version of a Drupal 4.7 updater, perhaps?) but with the help of a little PHP coding, all is well. I keep saying this, but next upgrade really will be easier.

There's a bit of theme tweaking still to do, but I'm going to keep things simple.

I think I am going to focus this essentially as a blog site, and remove some of the Drupal and other software experiments to another site.

Looking back, I see that my first blog post was in April of 2004. I think I was running Drupal 4.4. At this timescale it's easy to see some of the improvements that have happened since then — and some of the issues that are still annoying. Next step is to take this to Drupal 6, and work on some porting.

Go Drupal!
