Another photo from the quiet spot near Kells of Clavens Bridge on the River Blackwater.

Nautical number 2, again taken in Howth this time looking out over the marina.

Hello and welcome to McAWilliams.com the new improved version, but more about that later.

This photograph was taken up on the new bridge which connects Bray with Enniskerry, which opened last week. I am getting home at 7pm ish so I decided to try a traffic zooming by type shot, I think this worked quite well, anyhow onto the main story.

As you may well know, Movabletype 4 proved to be a big headache for me, so much so that I decided to change platform all together and move to Wordpress. I thought it would be easy enough, how mistaken I was the install etc was fantastic and to be fair to the Wordpress programmers they aint lied about the fact it is quite easy. My problem was how I used Moveabletype over the years.

I coded all the templates in Movabletype myself and as such used the default entry page in a strange way, I had also created custom entry fields using a plugin for the likes of meta keywords and descriptions etc, these fields unfortunately did not transfer to the database I had to create for Wordpress, and in the mayhem I lost all the details I had spent years entering.

So with Wordpress I had to start from scratch all that remained from the old site were the entry details and comments but all pictures keywords descriptions for 411 entries had to be re-entered from scratch, hence the delay.

I am using a theme for now but will be modifying this to get some originality back into McAWilliams.com, and what do I think of Wordpress, well as I told Caitriona tonight I aint looking back.
