Linkfire 2009

So I finally did it. After having a Flash site for my online presence, I have now switched to Wordpress. There are a few reasons for the switch. Here are just a few advantages over the old site:

1. Wanted to gain some experience using WordPress, such as customizing a theme, and assessing its usefulness as a client solution.
2. Have wanted a blog for a while now and have always put it off.
3. Wanted something more SEO friendly. This site will be way more friendly in the search engines than my Flash site.
4. Much more edit-ability. Things change fairly quickly online, and it was a pain to edit my Flash site. With this site, edits will be a snap.
5. This site will contain much more content.
6. Wanted to reach out not only to potential clients for production work, but also to affiliate networks, as I want to start doing online marketing using affiliate programs this year.
7. My site will now appear on mobile devices. The iPhone still has zero support for Flash. It is just a platform that I can no longer ignore.

So there you have it. I think these are enough reasons for the switch going forward. Flash will always have a spot in mu heart, and I do still plan on doing Flash production this year. However, as the days go by, I am getting much more serious about WordPress as a framework of choice.

Oh, and Happy New Year!
