Redesigned and Converted to Drupal
After a lot of thought, I've switched this site over to Drupal. I really like WordPress, and I plan to continue designing for it, but for my purposes Drupal will be a better fit. While I could have matched the new site structure to the old one, I decided to restructure. My old site map had become a little conveluted and I took this opportunity to straighten it out. I'm using PathRedirect to ease the transition, and PathAuto make the new sitemap easier the maintain.
For those who might be interested, here's a few more details of revised site:
- This site theme is built on the Zen theme using sub-themes.
- I'm using Mollom for spam control
- I've continued to use Google Analytics
- I've used a dev version of LinkToContent to make in-site linking easier.

Douglas,
Good Luck. While Wordpress is great for pure blogging, it does lack some of the features that full CMS's have. I believe if your site is more than blogging, when a CMS is what you need.
I wish you well.
Welcome to the world of Drupal. All our blogs are in Drupal. A couple of things worth considering: Disqus comments, and you should add a module called "Pathauto" which will give you better URL's. Instead of /node/192, you'd have something like content/converted-drupal for this post.
Email me if you want a list of the mods I use.
Cheers

Congrats for the redesign. :)
I am using Firefox 3.5.5 on Linux, with disable images now.
On a single post page and comment section, your pages have 2
h1s.Aligning of
h1andh2should be better.From semantic point of view, by default, which one is better, WordPress or Drupal? Or it just a theme problem?
I realize I'm using two H1s, but there are contexts where that's appropriate. Site title and Page title for instance.
