I am very happy to write the first post on my new blog. Of course, it’s got the same name as the old one, the same author, and the same history. But it’s still a new blog – just look at the layout! It’s completely different!
I chose WordPress as my blogging system. It was the solution that seemed the be the most fully featured, without being too complicated to handle. So if you’re reading this, you have already found this place. Remember to add the feed to your reader. Oh, and the feed from wordpress automatically redirects to feedburner, just so you know.
The plan is to add some other kinds of content to olabini.com, as soon as I have some time to set up the initial structure. I’ll probably talk about it more when it happens.
The blog is dead, long live the blog.

Probably a bit late to mention now, but I just got WordPress running on a JVM (surprisingly easily) :

Wow! Very cool indeed. I might not have chosen that solution anyway, of course. =) Not yet at least.

Don’t forget to keep your WordPress installation up-to-date, and I would suggest that you add one or more extra layers of protection to the wp-admin directory (unless you have already done so).

Make sure you double check whether WordPress, browsers, and your database agree on what the proper text encoding for posts and comments is. In my experience, WordPress tends to ruin UTF-8 completely by double, triple etc. escaping.
