Why I Left WordPress for Payload CMS + Astro
As of this week, archondigital.com no longer runs on WordPress. It now runs on Payload CMS for content and Astro for the front end, and the old WordPress install is retired from the public domain.

Still house cleaning
There’s a lot to clean up and fix on archondigital.com before I can begin development and migration into a new theme. Today I’ve managed to screw up the comments section by removing Facebook comments (and Disqus) and installing Jetpack, which I intend to keep as my commenting tool probably for the long term. Importing or
Updating my neglected blog to WordPress 5.0 and Gutenberg
Neglected, not abandoned. Yes, archondigital.com is still very much alive. I’ve been as always, consistently inconsistent with updating content on this for as far as I could remember. A lot of this has to do with me being busy (I’ve given this excuse here numerous times too) but that really is what it is, I

Permalink Migration on WordPress
It has been one of those things you knew you had to do but was near the bottom of your very long to-do list. But after a few days of thinking it over and browsing the web and eventually looking for the right plugins, I managed to migrate my permalink structure to a more keyword
A Blank WordPress Theme
Sometime middle of 2007, I found this blank wordpress theme and started using it as a base for theme designs I am working on. Tinkering with it helped me learn about creating a fully widgetized theme by editing and adding a few lines to the functions.php and sidebar.php files. The CSS file has german comments which is
Needs a Re-design
This site needs some drastic changes in its basic design. Posted during the 2nd version of Archon Digital I played around with different types of wordpress loops as well as other cross-browser hacks in CSS to help get this site to look the way it is. It is nowhere near perfect, but hey I’m no
