Description:

Like a few of you, I've been working with Wordpress as a blogging platform. Over the years I've tried a few different pieces of blogging software, but I really like Wordpress. I'm not alone as there are estimates that 20-30% of all websites run on this platform, including a few you might not expect. I thought UpperCup and Krispy Kreme UK are sites that don't really look like they're powered by Wordpress. Those make my own blog and T-SQL Tuesday look pretty bland. Maybe I'll do a little design work at some point on those. That's after SQLServerCentral moves over to the platform.

SQLServerCentral started as a custom ASP site many years ago, then upgraded to ASP.NET at some point. This was a joint effort from the founders to build in new functionality and features as we needed them, purchasing components (like the forums) where we found a suitable product. This first evolution of the site lasted for many years until Redgate Software acquired the property. We then underwent a second platform shift to NHibernate, which has been underpinning the site for a decade. We now move forward with our third evolution.
