Thurrott’s Site Joins 21st Century

Paul Thurrott:

After 12 years of manually updating my site like a 1990’s throwback, we’ve finally moved the SuperSite for Windows to a modern content management system (CMS). I’m excited by this for obvious reasons, but the real work is still ahead.

The aging technological infrastructure of this site has always been an issue for me, forcing me to deal with weird issues and manually write HTML code when I’d be better served just writing. This switch will relieve those problems and dramatically so, allowing me to focus on what really matters here. In fact, this is the first article for the site for which I didn’t have to create a custom, hand-coded HTML page. I can see the future already.

You can’t make this stuff up. Also, I’m not sure I want to take tech-related advice from a dude whose massive site was built page-by-page, by hand until 2010.
