Well I’ve bit the bullet and finally admitted this site is a “blog” :idea:. I really hate that word and had been avoiding looking at any of the blogging engines to power the site, sticking to CMS packages such as postNuke and the most recent Mambo.

Recently however, Sue has expressed interest in putting stuff online. While Mambo was nice for me, it just wasn’t “easy” enough that I thought sue would be confortable using it. I don’t think this was really a fault of Mambo, but more that I am running a blog (whether I like it or not) and was trying to shoehorn it into a full blown CMS.

In case you haven’t guessed, I’m no longer using Mambo. I have switched to Wordpress. The conversion made is painfully evident that this is indeed a bloggish site, as it was completely painless to get setup the way I wanted.

Anyway it is what it is. You may also notice that the site has a different name (at least in the header). kitzke.com is expiring, and I’ve gotten sick of constantly explaining to people what it means. Why OsakaNYC then? Easy: Sue is from Osaka, we live in NYC, and this is our space (plus it was the only decent name that wasn’t taken).

The URL switch will occur over the weekend and kitzke.com will continue to work until mid-June.

So you’ve noticed that kitzke.com is a bit different. What gives? Well I’ve had a blog style layout for several years now, first with Moveable Type and then with PostNuke, and they both worked well. There was one problem though…

I never updated the site!

Well one day I was reading a thread on the and found a great idea. I use my website to present information for me and my friends, but this information doesn’t change that often and I never figured out a great way to organize things. Enter the Wiki… I’m not totally happy with just Php Wiki though, mainly because I can’t integrate gallery very well. I do like the ease of update though. I may find another wiki program or integrate phpWiki into Post Nuke. We’ll see…

After several months of my home page stating that a site refresh would be done in a “few days”, I’m finally done!

Welcome to the new and improved kitzke.com!

The site is now powered by postnuke, which gives me many things, not the least of which is the ability to add new features without taking the entire site down. Please look around and let me know what you think.
