[off topic] Upgrading is over, I’ve also installed a few plugins(see for example the poll from the sidebar) to wordpress. To upgrade you only have to do is to deactivate your plugins and than overwrite in FTP your old wordpress documents.

I saw that there are a few spanish people who are reading my blog translated in spanish, I just want to say: Hola muchachos! :)) [/off topic]

I’ve received an e-mail from one of the dancingintherain.org visitors and I’ve been asked about how did I changed cutenews to wordpress. Well, I didn’t changed, I just deleted cutenews and started all over with wordpress. I didn’t had too much articles and I knew that wordpress is much easier to use when I have a widget-ready layout. There are also other reasons, like the fact that cutenews it’s quite easy to hack…

It’s your choice if you switch cutenews to wordpress, but if you do this, it will be very easy to manage your site. And it will help your site to appear higher in a list of search engine results, this means that you will have much more visitors. Also, wordpress.org gives a few tips on how to be more liked by these search engines.

   Well, you should use a custom layout and modify it. It’s the easiest way to work good and in every browser. I recommend this one. Just don’t forget to credit the site from where you took the theme.

   There’s actually a plugin to transfer the CN archives over to WP, for anyone who’s interested in doing that.
