Moving From ExpressionEngine To yajogo
When I first set up this site back in 2005 I looked around for a blogging platform and chose ExpressionEngine. After years of bad experience with PHP (it's such a mess) I was relucant to use a platform based on PHP but EE is a good and well thought out system. (BTW EE is about to release version 2.) So there we were.
Always in the back of my mind was: "You know how to do this. Why don't you write your own system?" Well life and business got in the way and I never got around to it. As part of the business I was writing custom CMSs for clients in Django. These custom CMSs gradually built up into a library of code which became a multi-lingual CMS called yajogo. I'm proud of yajogo - it's a very flexible system. It's not quite ready for mass exposure but it's getting there and is already powering live sites. Now here we are.
