New Site Changes

A little explanation for what is going on with the new church website (for the closet geeks amongst us)…
This update was due. The old site (still available, by the way, at http://rlchome.org) was based on an open source software project called XOOPS. This project’s days are numbered because of bickering between the lead programmers and slow progress of updates. This did not bode well for the future of our large site. It was also hard for a novice to keep the site updated.
I made the decision to switch us over to Wordpress 2.3. this open source project is thriving and growing. They have done some cool things in the last couple of years to make it easy to manipulate and modify. the best part is, almost all of the modifications are to the theme files, not the root of the software. So, I took a fairly simple theme, and starting hacking into it. What resulted is a custom Resurrection solution that I hope can last us for several years.
