Yes, I did it! I upgraded my blog!
Major update: I changed to WordPress. I used to host on Nucleus, but since all other blogs I use are WordPress, and the platform itself is very good and scalable (huge community, lots of plugins, ..) this merge was high on my wish list.

The last couple of days I was migrating post and features, and also working on a new layout. Hope you like it. I inspired myself on a beautiful but pretty female-ish theme and pumped some testosterone in it ;) (well ..)

I quite enjoyed getting my hand dirty in code once again. Wasn’t as fresh as it used to be, but hey I managed to do the job.

Still some work under de hood though. I’m planning to go over all previous posts and tag them appropriate. Hell over a job I think, but it will benefit my structure.
I also made sure all previous post urls, from the nucleus blog, are redirected (permanent redirect indeed). Wrote a script to help me. If you ever need this let me know.
Apart from that I moved my blog to my domain root.

So, hope you like the new design. I sure like the layout, gives me some opportunities. I’ll integrate some additional services later.
Now I’m very curious to see how technorati, google, .. handle the changes. Keep you informed.
