Not to long ago I got the itch to  upgrade the site from it&#8217;s static HTML pages to use <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wordpress\" target=\"_blank\">WordPress<\/a> as it&#8217;s back end.<\/p>\n<p>Until recently I used to maintain all of The H Corner&#8217;s updates and\u00a0maintenance\u00a0with the text editor, <a href=\"http:\/\/macromates.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Textmate<\/a>. I personally enjoy building websites with a text editor. I fell like I have a higher level of control when building the a website like that. However\u00a0maintaining\u00a0a website (especially one like The H Corner that should be updated frequently with new content) with a text editor I learned is not the best idea ever unless it is your only job in life.<\/p>\n<p>Installing wordpress was easy using the <a href=\"http:\/\/codex.wordpress.org\/Installing_WordPress\" target=\"_blank\">wordpress.org install guide<\/a>. It gave me step by step instructions to setup a SQL database and get everything running. Less then a year ago I switched my personal website to wordpress and have not looked back. I have been very happy with it&#8217;s performance.<\/p>\n<p>Once I got wordpress setup and running I started with the task of importing all the content of the old site to the new one.<\/p>\n<p>The whole process took less then a week. The hardest part might have been creating a theme that resembled more of the old h corner website. Themes are how you can quickly and easily change the look and feel of your website. You can find tons of themes on line with a simple Google search.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the new H Corner at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehcorner.com\" target=\"_blank\">thehcorner.com<\/a> and let me know what you think.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In my spare time I run a fan site called The H Corner for the Chicago Illinois based band &#8220;Local H&#8220;.
