Wordpress we love you, we do.
OKCOOL has been migrated to Wordpress, I won’t go into the technical side of the move, Keir can do that later, but I will mention why we did it and the fact that you can download the theme.
The main reason to move over to Wordpress being that the original OKCOOL site lovingly built by myself in Rails, was frankly, a bit unstable. While I wanted to maintain it in my spare time and grow it, there just never seemed to be the time, something that I think most of us are familiar with.
Now we are in the lovely world of the Akismet spam filter, podcast plugins, user management, and whatever else the lovely Wordpress community can dream up.
We’ll put the zip file up soon so that you can download the OKCOOL theme, modify it, use it, etc…
