MADDY: “Did you know that there are two places on your body, that if you get shot there, you will die instantly?”

BEN: “Where, Maddy?”

MADDY: “Your head & your neck – you will die instantly if you get shot there.”

BEN: “Not necessarily, I’ve heard of people who’ve been shot in the head or the neck and survived.”

MADDY: “No, Ben. (humouring his ignorance!) That’s just what you see in movies – in real life if you get shot in the head or the neck, you will always die instantly….(thinks for a moment)…unless you can get to a hospital.”

Wow, WordPress has really come along in leaps and bounds hasn’t it?  I was using Drupal on this site for the past couple of years.  I’d decided on Drupal because it could be manipulated more than WordPress, but less than Joomla – which seemed way too complicated and had a steep learning curve.  I get bored fairly easily and I’ve wanted to makeover this site for a while.

I’ve been making other sites with Joomla and have finally gotten the hang of it, and installed Joomla on here for a while, but wasn’t happy with it.  I thought I’d give WordPress another go.  Well, what a nice surprise – the features are vastly improved from the version I’d been using a couple of years ago.  It’s quite easy to get it looking the way you want, and is way more configurable than it used to be – and way easier than Joomla too.  Because of its popularity it has plenty of handy plugins too.  I’m going to have a look around and see what kind of stuff is available – this blog will have all the bells and whistles when I am done!
