Welcome to the new inlinepics.com blog. This blog will eventually replace the current www.inlinepics.com website that I started nearly two years ago.
There are a number of reasons for this move, but they all basically boil down to two reasons; I am lazy and cheap. The current CMS that I am using to publish the frontpage is a big complex monster that is complete overkill for my little site. It has lots of functionality behind the scenes that I don't use and really just confuses me because I don't use it frequently enough. The CMS software also needs to be updated occasionally, and while it's not a hard process; it never really gets done. I spend my day working on technology, and coming home to work on it some more is usually about the last thing that I want to do.
I also would like to migrate away from my current hosting company. Nothing against the host, they have actually been very good to me. I just don't like paying the bill. Granted I don't pay very much, but a free blog combined with a flickr pro account is a heck of a lot cheaper.
I know that this switch will probably break some things on the web, including links to content pages I created for previous races; but for a web site that serves only as a hobby for me, I'm not going to lose too much sleep. I will do my best to move all of the old pictures from the old site to the new site, those are what really matter anyways.
