I had a fun two weeks with Django, but now it’s over. There is nothing wrong with Django, in fact page load times went from about 1-1.5 seconds to about 100-300 milliseconds. I haven’t narrowed down why yet—maybe python over php, maybe InnoDB tables instead of MyISAM, maybe mod_passenger instead of fastcgi. While I plan on trying to figure it out later, Wordpress just plain works. If I need to type a post, wordpress lets me do that really simply. For some reason, Dreamhost doesn’t like some of the admin urls I use and I really do not have time to figure it out. So, hello Wordpress 2.9.
I decided to keep the new theme, but I put ads back on the site again. I will not ask you to click on them, that would be violating the Terms and Conditions of having them there, but in case if someone does happen to find something useful in them, I get a few cents from each click.
