Jamie Balfour'sPersonal blog

WordPress is available as an add-on to a website in HTML, CSS etc. It utilises PHP and MySQL to make it efficient and effective. WordPress is great because the theme of the blog can be changed at any time with a variety of different themes to choose from. I like the current standard WordPress theme, known as Twenty Twelve (2012) and will be using this for the time being. I may change it at anytime, though.

WordPress also has a built in spell-check as well as making the administration of my blog much easier. I am currently leaving the BlackRabbit and WE Blog blogs the way they are and they will remain as my standard blogs, provided by my host. There may come a time when I change them also.

WordPress has also offered me much more in the view that millions of people use it, so it is well maintained. As well as that, Google Searches are more likely to stumble across a WordPress blog than they are a blog created by my host.

I have also now copied every single post from my old blog into my new blog, along with their time and date strings. On top of that, Blogger has finally been moved to this blog, so all my historical writings from when I first blogged in 2010, have moved here.

In about 2 or 3 minutes I will be deleting my old blog to make room for my new WordPress one. I have moved all of the posts over to this blog so they will still be available.

You may have noticed my blog has now changed to a WordPress blog. This is a new update that I have fired in today, unexpectedly! The new design makes it much easier to find the information you need, as well as the post you need. On top of that, the blogging system when compared with my host's default blog is much nicer. I can also do many more things as well as having the MySQL power over the database.

I was a bit inspired to build one of these blogs and have been for a while. So here is my new WordPress blog. For future reference, I will begin transferring all of my old blog posts onto this blog.
