As you can probably see, I've finally updated my blog. This is pretty exciting for me, not just because I'm now running on Drupal 5.1, but because I have many new things in store for this site.

For now, I've simply upgraded the software that runs this site, Drupal. You can find out more about Drupal at www.drupal.org. Using Drupal simply for a blog is trying to kill an ant with a bazooka. I chose Drupal over Wordpress for various reasons, but they all boil down to the fact that I like Drupal better. I have nothing against WordPress, but I just like Drupal better.

Also, I'm working on a new theme for the site. I've taken a few more "Mountain Top" pictures and I'm planning on working them into the theme. Look for that in a few weeks.

I've also enabled comments and my contact form. For spam prevention, I'm using the new Drupal captcha module and the Akismet spam screening service. We'll see how this works.

Hopefully this will lead to me blogging more, but I'm not promising anything. Smiling
