Dokuwiki takes over TheGreiners.com

After some brief consideration of Dokuwiki as a complete replacement for my old thegreiners.com web site, I wrote one rewrite rule, edited a few wiki pages and – tada! – here you have it.

Truly the old site was soooo old and neglected that this implementation was immediately superior, even if only because it had been touched in the last year while the other site had not. Truly, it was nearly that bad. And I am very psyched about the Dokuwiki feature set. So far it's handling all my top-tier requirements. I even tweaked the template up a little, though I don't want to make that the priority. I may tweak a little more and then put the site into a new code lock-down for awhile. Just use it for a month or so and not spend all my time modifying the tool rather than writing. ^_^

And even if everything goes to pieces on the next Dokuwiki update, I'll have all the pages as .txt files so I won't lose any content. No matter what solution I choose, I always end up investing some extra time to learn the ins and outs. Perhaps it's more enjoyable for me to tweak up a fun, open source tool like Dokuwiki rather than clicking around the vox site all evening looking in vain for a way to export my posts or search only within my blog. Plus I love the wiki concept so I'm not limited to blogging in terms of sharing and organizing content. All good fun.
