So I finally found the time to update Wordpress to 2.6.3, which was pretty painless. I also converted my traditional install to a Conversion Checkout, which will make this a lot easier in the future. Fiddling around with Wordpress was a welcome change from Drupal, which has proven fairly frustrating at work. After much deliberation we decided to use Drupal 6 for our new site, despite the fact that many of the critical modules are only available in development snapshots. CCK 6.x-2.0 was just released today, which is a good start, I guess. One of these days I’ll write in detail about our project, which is actually pretty interesting. We’re hoping to pull in content from our ContentDM instance, as well as catalog records directly from Millennium. Stored as nodes and available by faceted search, our users will have the kind of flexibility that most libraries daydream about.

I have thoughts and pictures from the Obama Rally in Grant Park last night that I will try to post tomorrow. Hope everyone is well.
