I apologize for my lack of recent posts. I’ve been laying low, trying not to cause trouble while the guys get everything in order. Switching from one application to another isn’t something you take lightly… especially when it’s a bread and butter app. Switching a Web site’s Content Management System (CMS) with a legacy of content? That’s a monumental undertaking, my friends. To swap out a CMS successfully, you need to grit your teeth and plan carefully.

You may have noticed the site’s new layout. Or perhaps the odd look of the newsletters. It’s not happenstance. With the proverbial flip of a switch, the CMS engine that runs Lockergnome was swapped out. Out with the Flathead Ford, in with the Supercharged Hemi. This post is my first opportunity to fiddle with Lockergnome’s new content management system.

Needless to say, I’m stumbling around in the dark.

While I’ve long considered changing the content management system on my personal sites, my needs are small potatoes compared to what’s rocked Lockergnome over the past weeks.
