I’ve spent the last few weeks off-and-on getting to know WordPress, which is, it must be said, a goddam decent piece of software. This blog has been running on it for a week and a half, now, and I launched laundryroom swapmeet a day before that as well, so I’m clearly smitten.

And now The Aural Times has gotten the treatment, and I couldn’t be happier—I’ve eliminated a lot of niggling design annoyances, tightened up the design a bit, and used the nice internals of the WordPress system to realize or flesh out a number of things that, on the old design, had mostly been ideas.

I’ve also got a much better rss feed, which doubles as a podcast, and that’s pretty exciting. I’ll need to test a few things out, but then I think I’ll drop a line to my contact at Yahoo and see if I can get any podcast love out of this.

I’m also trying to get my head around how to execute a compendium album of the first six months or so.
