It’s amazing how much you can forget in such a short period of time.

I’ve been away from Wordpress for a little while. There was a point where not a day went by when I wasn’t changing my theme, or modifying a plugin, but then I got caught up trying to find something as easy as Wordpress to use, but developed with content management in mind. I didn’t find it, not by a long shot, but that is another story.

Now I am back with Wordpress and determined to find the right set of plugins, themes, widgets, etc to make it into a strongly focussed content management system I realise how much value there is in regular hacking.

Things which once where second nature to me, adding admin menus for example, now seem odd and I a lot of functionality is setting just out reach of memory. I know I know it, I just can’t quite reach it.

It is coming back fairly quickly; however, my first few new plugins are likely to be pretty simple. I am working on some more complex ones but I think perhaps I will let them breathe while I re-familiarise myself with it all.
