Revamping the website

I decided that I’d be daring and upgrade the base for my website.  I originally had it programmed via PHPNuke, but that program has a lot of security holes.  While I never experienced an “attack” on my genealogy site, I did get hacked on another one I was running in test mode for a friend.  I decided to switch to Joomla as the base and so far, I’m very happy.

I have to figure out how to integrate my blog and forum over.  They both work, but they are not tied in at this point.  There are bridges to integrate them, but the first one I tried ended up locking things up.  I’ll just leave them as separate entities for now.

If you want to build a database driven website allowing you to change content easily, Joomla is an excellent option.
