Title: Main Page Switch Soon Post by: pspeed on January 25, 2012, 12:37:02 AM I posted about this on Facebook and Twitter also but thought a note here is good too.
Mythruna has had a Wordpress site for a long time (almost as long as it's had a web site) but I'm finally setting it up in preparation for replacing the main mythruna.com page. Check it out if you want: http://mythruna.com/wordpress (http://mythruna.com/wordpress) This is also where the store will go when I get that code tweaked the way I want it. I'll try to post more content to the wordpress site as I can. I have a series of articles I plan to write from the perspective of in-game characters. I will ultimately be putting the manual together there, also. Well, the formal pretty parts, not the "better on a wiki" parts.

Title: Re: Main Page Switch Soon Post by: pspeed on January 25, 2012, 01:43:51 PM ewwwwww... Wordpress... Why would you do that... But the main picture is pretty badass :D Because it's easy and has a million plug-ins... including an e-commerce one that is decent and hackable. Why wouldn't I? :) Title: Re: Main Page Switch Soon Post by: FutureB on January 25, 2012, 03:43:42 PM Looking good paul :]

Why wouldn't I? :) Ummmm... correct me if I'm wrong... but isn't the goal to have a unhackable site...? JUST SAYIN... And BTW are you planning to use wordpress plugins to handle the sales and mod shop or w/e....?

There is no such thing as an unhackable site, really... certainly not for the money and time I have to spend on it. At least Wordpress has a million eyes on the problem. Yes, I'm hacking through WooCommerce at the moment trying to make it dance the way I want it to. I don't what I'll use for the mod shop yet... but further hacks to WooCommerce are certainly a possibility. I have not found an out of box solution that did what I wanted... even the expensive ones.

At least Wordpress has a million eyes on the problem. And note: this isn't that I don't care. I just won't be storing any credit card info myself. I'll leave the money handling to the payment gateways. Somewhat limits the damage of a hack, I guess. But if you have specific things I should be looking out for then let me know. Otherwise "it's bad" isn't very helpful. Everything is bad.

Title: Re: Main Page Switch Soon Post by: pspeed on January 31, 2012, 08:40:32 PM I've already written a plug-in for WooCommerce to let me do donations. I estimated three days but I was able to get it working in one night... and learning PHP at the same time. Wordpress and the Woo-theme plug-ins are pretty well architected. I was very impressed.
I'm only waiting on an "all clear" from the lawyer on my site language... just to make sure I haven't worded something in a way that gets me in trouble later. I was hoping to have heard back by now, actually. |
