I'm pretty much done with rebuilding the framework for the site. It took a little longer than I expected, but I also took more time to do backups before adding bits and pieces. I think for now I'm going to leave out some of the social networking stuff I had installed earlier, simply because much of it didn't really work the way I wanted it to. I'll probably end up customizing a lot of that and writing the code myself.
On the other hand, I'm actually much happier with things the way they are now. Carbon Accounts is something I couldn't seem to get working the last time around, and now that they're up and running I'm thrilled. The newsroom section is also a plus in that it seems to be working the way it should.
One thing I do miss from the old blog page is the related content items I was able to pull in from the web. It was fairly easy to write the code for that and make it work with Wordpress, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to do it on this platform. I probably can, but I'm nervous about messing things up.
On the actual content part, I've got a few pretty exciting stories I'm going to be touching on tomorrow. Everything from organic diaper rash cream (I've been babysitting my niece a lot the last few weeks) to the power of poop. Trust me, it's a lot more exciting than it sounds.
