You may have noticed that I recently switched over to WordPress for my personal Cyndi Greening blog. I’m still getting used to it but I’m liking it a lot. Cinema Minima has been using WP for quite a long time now. Austin Burbridge, the genius behind Cinema Minima, has always been ahead of the crowd. He was encouraging RSS, podcasts and VOD long before anyone else had ever heard of it. At heart, I’m a filmmaker, teacher and writer. So, I sometimes drag my feet on new technologies, wanting to see if they’re going to stand the test of time. In the past, I always resisted changing blog software because I feared losing my content. Making the switch from Radio Userland to Movable Type was costly. So, I was trying to avoid that problem. Fortunately, Jonathan at PC Optimized helped make the conversion fairly seamless. (He says it took about an hour and one-half to make the conversion. Much better than the weeks it took to bring it over from Radio Userland.) I have noticed a few tweaky challenges I’ve had to overcome and, if you find something out of sorts, please send me an email so I can fix it, but overall it’s pretty slick … and the price is very appealing.

Recently, I’m learning how to make new content pages. I decided to start by testing a very large link resource page. You can check out the Film Resources page that I was testing.
