In an effort to keep my site updated more often, I’m starting to move Kodiak’s Korner posts to WordPress. Up to now I had been using/developing my own weblog software, but my time is so limited (or I’m so lazy, depending on how you wnat to look at it) that I hadn’t been able to build in all of the functionality that I wanted. I’ve heard good things about WordPress and decided that it was time to stop reinventing the wheel.

So far things are looking pretty good. I can do just about everything that I wanted to do with my homegrown system and WordPress has some features built into it that might come in handy, like PingBacks and TrackBacks.

I’m not entirely giving up on my own system, however. I figure I’ll spend some time getting my feet wet with WordPad and maybe later go back to my own system, taking the nice features with me. I envision my system being more than just a weblog—with built in photo galleries and an intricate way to link all of the separate elements together automatically.
