Hey guys,

I am finally done changing the Happeepill site to the WordPress platform. Yeah!! I did not expect it would take this long. I had no problems installing WordPress but searching and reading up about which plug-ins to use on the other hand was a major headache.

I placed this drawing on the old site before I made the switch. I think some of you guys might have missed it.

Anyway, I am very happy that the system is up and running. I was planning to use the “Twenty Ten” theme but I realized that WordPress made an even better improved version which they called it “Twenty Eleven”. If you are starting out a self-hosted WP site, I suggest this theme because it has all the basic, necessary aesthetics.. a banner on top with tiled background at the back. Can’t go wrong with that!

I can understand why WP is getting popular with website owners, because now, I don’t even have to deal with Dreamweaver and FTP. The days or getting my files organized in folders, keeping tabs on images, making sure links are working right is OVER! And I’m glad.

These are the files that I have to manage on the old site.

Let me side track abit and show you guys the site’s progression throughout the years… I started with this site below totally made from Dreamweaver using tables!

This was back in 2007. I released the Enjet-enjet Semut cartoon with this site.

After that, I made another change to the site in 2008.

The animated header nearly killed me during production!

After that in Jan 2nd 2010, together with a volunteer programmer we released Happeepill with a complete login system.

A lot of work went into this one. We had a good run.

And now I am on WordPress yeah! Ok enough with reminiscing about old websites and all these geekery…. so where do we go from here? I will try to read your minds and here is a list of questions I bet most of you guys will ask me.

Where the #%^@ is the old cartoons and articles?!!!
I will add the old content as time goes by.. perhaps one old content every other day. If I were to dedicate my time to just migrate the entire site’s content, that would take another 2 weeks. I prefer to mix new posts with old ones so at least you guys are not barraged with stale content for 14 days straight.

I plan to post the “Ah Leong Dreams” cartoon, God willing, by tomorrow.

So what’s new?
Whats new?! EVERYTHING! Firstly, with this new platform you guys can comment on most of the posts. I adopted the Intense Debate comment system quite late on the old website so that means you can’t comment on some articles I’ve written, but now you are free to comment on almost ALL posts!

FYI, The comment system I’m using now is called Disqus.

Another thing is I have scrapped is the ICU page. I intend to set a login system on this platform but not anytime soon, so that means, all content is open to public viewing.

If you noticed, there is a tiny form on the top right hand corner on the side bar, where you can subscribe to Happeepill via email. I suggest you enter your email so you can be notified whenever there is a new post. Don’t want to miss a new cartoon now do we?

I guess that’s pretty much it. Drop me a comment if you have questions Enjoy the new Happeepill website you guys!

This is exactly how I felt when I got WordPress to work.

It’s ALIIIVEE!
Evil Bunny!
