Did you ever think about the idea a city lives? And if it lives, why not treat it as all other living things and photograph it intensively?

That's a very possible way to describe Charmantwerpen, a photoblog about Antwerp. The images always carry a (Dutch) title which makes you think, and show a curious situation in the city near the river Schelde.

I told you it's a family project, so I am involved with the backend logic. But do not let that scare you.

Migrating an old website, running on Zen in my case, to a new system is hard. It involves a lot, going from functionality migration to details like copying over your favicon and style.

But one of the best and in my opinion underestimated migration tools are logs. Yes, those files which list 404s. Because that is what your users are looking for, that is what they want to see. That is were things are going wrong. That is were you should fix things first.

Where I am fixing things now.

Yes I know old content, especially imagery is missing. But I wanted to focus on the start first, and make it work. Filling the details will follow soon...

So I decided to restart my website in Drupal. There are numerous reasons, both technical and practical. I'll write about it later on, for know you should just know that this site is running Drupal. Which is cool.

Something new is coming up here soon. It will be different and futuristic. As all websites should be. If they ever all can be different, that is.
