2007 is coming to an end! The last six months of the year was great for CEN.TAKU.ME. I am looking forward to a full year in 2008. To celebrate the new year, there are a couple of things that will be changed. CEN.TAKU.ME is moving to a new blog platform in 2008. It’s a shame to lose the current layout that took me nearly a month to perfect. Drupal is a little bloated, and there aren’t any decent, stable plugins suitable for blogging. So, CEN.TAKU.ME is moving to WordPress.

With WordPress as a replacement for Drupal, there will be new categories. The new names are under wraps for the time being until the new CEN.TAKU.ME is launched. New widgets are coming, such as a Show Top Commentators widget, and a hierarchal category widget, so now you can look at the categories on any page without going to the Tags page. (*sigh*, why didn’t I choose WordPress from the start?)

As for more content…it is guaranteed, especially after the relaunching. Posting using programs such as BlogDesk will be easy with WordPress. Drupal doesn’t cooperate with it very well. With the holidays, I don’t have as much time as I used to. Hopefully in the middle of January, I’ll get my time back. This is the last post of the year, as I will focus the little time I have optimizing WordPress for the relaunch. The estimated relaunch date is sometime in January: the time I’ll be back!

Things are going great with the new WordPress layout for the “relaunch”. Which means, that it is possible for an earlier release, perhaps on January 5th or sooner! Also, I signed up for an account on Entrecard. It’s an advertising network where you can drop your “business card” on other websites with the widget to earn credit to purchase ad space on another website or blog, provided he/she approves the request. This is a good opportunity to prepare for the relaunch of CEN.TAKU.ME in 2008.

Until then, have a happy, safe, and wonderful New Year! /farewell
