laughingsquid.net, Now With WordPress

Last week our awesome team over at Laughing Squid Web Hosting successfully converted the entire laughingsquid.net website to WordPress. What’s really interesting is that when looking at it, you would have no idea that anything was even changed, but now the entire website is dynamic PHP WordPress pages served from a MySQL database. We were able to use WordPress as a 100% CMS without any blogging functionality (we keep our hosting blog is offsite over at wordpress.com).

I’m glad to hear that shifting to WordPress isn’t that hard. I’m planning to put up a Web site for my business and many have recommended it. Are you using Vista? I hope that it doesn’t have any problem with the new OS. Although I think I won’t be having any compatibility problem since I could get all the Vista drivers that I need from http://www.radarsync.com/vista, I would very much appreciate any suggestion or insight on using WordPress on Vista.

Very nice. You have a gift with green text on black. Seriously, very nicely done.

I just happened to click the one page outside of WordPress ;-)

With very few exceptions, comments that do not refernce include an actual name or url will not be approved.

Also when we ask for your name we mean your actual name, not Discount Car Products or some other attempt at spam or lame SEO.

Spam: Spam comments in any form will not be approved. We also do not approve comments that left for the sole purpose of posting a link.

Corrections: If you want to point out a typo or correction, please email us instead. Typo or correction comments will not be approved since they are pretty much useless once they are corrected and then only tend to confuse things.
