A little behind the scenes tour for you about what's changed. Prior to this version of the website, I was using iWeb to generate the blog and the photo/video pages. From an ease of use point of view, it was drop dead easy and made updating the site relatively quick. However, it suffered from a number of deficiencies with regard to how it handled blogging. It's not extensible, adding comments required a different setup, getting Dina on here to post was nearly impossible and posting remotely, was impossible.

So, I decided to do what I had originally done, which is use WordPress to run the blog portion. So that's what you're seeing here now. Comments are available (you'll have to register, that just helps us keep out spam and whatnot - I know it's password protected, but go with it), Dina and I can both post and I have the ability to post from the iPhone at the doctor's office, for example.

Photos and videos galleries will still be generated by iWeb, though. Handling the number of photos and videos we've been posting, and will be posting, is handled much easier through that, then via WordPress. At least for now. To be honest, there's a number of ways to change that and use WordPress, but for now, I'm leaving it as is. As such, there'll probably be some broken links moving back and forth until I figure it all out - and there's definitely some dissonance in the look/feel of the two sites; but you'll still be able to see all the images, so it's worth it right now.

All in all, the advantages outweigh the awkwardness of the system for a while - as we go on, it may change, until then, enjoy your blueberry updates!

UPDATE: One of the things I forgot to check prior to pulling down the old site was the status of RSS feed. I'm reasonably sure the old RSS feed is no longer valid - either way please make sure you update the link for the RSS feed if your using it. The link can be found at the bottom of the page.
