Moving from Custom Programming to WordPress

I have been torn for many years about using any sort of content management system (CMS). I have always been into writing my own code because it is so customizable. I have recently started to make a change in my thoughts about this at bowlingball.com.

I have decided to move all of bowlingball.com’s articles and videos into a wordpress blog CMS. This will do multiple things, including allowing them to continue operating easily in case I am ever hit by a bus.

Plus there are so many great add-ons to wordpress. The ability for people to be able to comment, the IMM-Glossary, Tag Clouds, etc… I was able to create a theme from the bowlingball.com web page so that you really do not even know you are in a wordpress blog when you get to these sections.

Checkout bowlingball.com’s News and Information blog. And their bowling articles.

WordPress Category List Entries

We at bowlingball.com wanted to move our articles into wordpress to use the fantastic functionality already built in. I wanted a way to click on a category and show just a list of article titles, and none of the text.

All you have to do is edit the archive.php file to remove the divs that show the post. It’s simple and easy to do.

Check out our new Bowling Article and Tips pages at bowlingball.com.

bowlingball.com’s blog is renamed

bowlingball.com has changed their blog name from “bowlingball.com Corporate Blog” to “bowlingball.com News and Information“.  This name change is trying to bring a little more comfort for visitors that are truned off by the term “Corporate Blog.”  Many customers thought they were in our personal corporate business.

I am hopefule that the name change makes sense and helps more customer visit and leave comments.  We want to build a community of people that want to participate.

This is important to keep in mind for new people wanting to start a blog.  Sometimes the name says everything, both good and bad.
