Hello World, Wordpress

Well, ladies and gentleman, I’ve finally settled on a blog. For the last few years, I’ve gone from one CMS (Content Management System) to another, trying to find the perfect software for my unique style of blogging.

And the winner is… Wordpress!

Joomla was a close second.

As you can see, I created my own template, using “Clean Minimal” (from Theme Lab) as my starting point. So far, I’m loving wordpress. It’s extremely customizable and the administrative backend is user-friendly and feature-packed.

Those of you familiar with my website should recognize this image:

‘Projects’ Page from my old website, http://web.mit.edu/adam_s/www

Well, although that site has served me well over the last two and a half years, it’s time for an upgrade. That is why along with this blog, I am in the development of a brand-spankin’-new website with the same overall feel of this one (thus reinforcing the Adam-Schwartz-Polymath brand name). I’m happy to announce that starting January 1st, 2009, my new website (currently in production) will take the place of the one pictured above.

For those of you who have been to my website after hours (after 2am E.S.T. that is), the following should look familiar:

‘Night’ Page from my old website, http://polymath.mit.edu/www/night

Well, those of you who enjoy out of of focus photographs of the Boston Skyline will be happy to know that the Night website will be getting an upgrade to v2.0 when all of the other new website stuff happens. There may even be a surprise for those of you who decide to visit on January 1st! Who knows…?

Till next time, Adam
