Blog

I am proud to have finally brought my blog into the new age my converting from BlogCFC which served me well for many years to ContentBox Modular CMS.  Other than a few case-sensitivity glitches moving my database from a Windows backup to my Linux server, it went very well.  Contentbox has a built-in BlogCFC converter which is very nice and pulled across all my content, categories, comments, users, etc in just a minute or so.  I also wrote a simple open source module for ContentBox which will support the old BlogCFC-style links to entries, pages, and RSS feeds so old links will still work.  I am using Computer Know How's Bootswatch Theme.

 Both the URL compatibility module and the Bootswatch theme are available on ForgeBox and can be installed directly from the ContentBox admin with the click of a button.  This is part of why ContentBox is so advanced and extensible.  Hopefully I'll blog a bit more now that I've got all the new ContentBox features.  I know I still need to do some cleanup on the code formatting in some of my entries.  If you see any broken links for functionality, please let me know so I can take a look and fix it.

ContentBox and Ortus Solutions just announced a new contest today. All you have to do is write an original ContentBox Theme or Module and submit it to ForgeBox by the Dec 14th deadline.
