<p>I wasn&#8217;t happy with the old website.  It was tired and cluttered.  There was too much stuff and it was kind of a pain to maintain.</p>
<p>The design was old clunky HTML.  There was zero extensibility.  Not very search engine friendly.</p>
<p>Meh.<span id="more-44"></span></p>
<p>For the longest time, I&#8217;ve been trying to decide on a new design for the website. I tried several different designs including a flash-template-based thingy.</p>
<p>Meh. Meh.</p>
<p>What to do?  An open source content management solution?  Naw.  I don&#8217;t really like the learning curve on most CMS programs.</p>
<p>So I turned to what I know.  WordPress. Easy to install (in cpanel with my web host).  Easy to use. Even easy to design.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-49" title="Dave Christi logo" src="http://davechristi.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dc-logo-2010-small.jpg" alt="Dave Christi logo" width="250" height="250" />I found an amazingly robust WP Theme called <a href="http://wordpress.bytesforall.com/" target="_blank">Atahualpa from BytesForAll</a>.  It&#8217;s really easy to configure with an option for just about everything.  With a little tweaking of the original layout and a refit of my old logo, I was set.</p>
<p>Click around and enjoy, but most importantly, <a href="http://davechristi.com/contact/">call me</a> when you need a great voice.</p>
