Liquidstate

Well, some may say it was inevitable, others might say its overdue, but on Christmas day, Jen accepted my proposal, and we’re now in the throws of organising the wedding! There is a Wedding Website that is currently limited to those who have been invited, but may be made public after the wedding.

[23/06/08] Update: Wedding photos are now online!  (more to come!)

Hi everyone!

Welcome to the new Liquidstate website. The last version was looking a little dated, and the lack of decent back-end editing software meant that I never really updated it as often as I wanted.

So, Im now back with a Wordpress driven site that, although a little inflexible, should give me more time to add new content than worrying about design. It also means that in the future, when I fancy a change of design, I can go looking for new templates, rather than go through the painful process of migrating content!

The only thing that hasn’t quite made it over yet is photos. Which, to be honest is a bit of a shame because that’s mostly why people are here! Im still withering with the idea of moving all my photos to Flickr. I know, its evil, yada yada, why pay someone what you can do yourself, etc, etc. But, the truth is, well, Flickr “just works”. I dont need to worry about bandwidth. I dont have to worry about disk space. And, again, I dont have to worry about migration. If I ever change template, or move to a new content management system, well, as long as it has Flickr integration, job done! There’s also the whole “social” aspect of Flickr, which I think (sadly) is here to stay.

Anyway, would love to hear comments back from anyone who is loving or hating the new site.
Cheers,
Bryan

Update: Now running the Wordpress 2.3, and I’ve migrated away from “UTW” to the new tagging system.
Update: Baseline version is now kept up to date with the new Wordpress svn trunk.
