Speaking of redoing the front page (ie. the main website)
I got a reply email from the Askimet company about why it would block comments from registered users, and I was told I should upgrade Wordpress/Askimet... which is something I've been putting off (perhaps even indefinitely if possible) because I've customized Wordpress so.
So basically setting up Wordpress for this website would be an opportunity to try upgrading my Wordpress codebase without any risk involved. My plan was to copy over Wordpress from digitaldevildb.com and just delete all the the non-utility pages and posts, so I wouldn't have to reconfigure anything like I did when I copied over this forum (a much smaller job than Wordpress)
Anyway, point is, resolving this upgrade matter is probably a bigger priority than giving this website a makeover, so in the end it should be win/win and happen just as soon as I can schedule it in.
I also have a Google-free solution for site wide search since the other day (which I'm not sure if I've mentioned) in YaCy. I gotta set that up at digitaldevildb.com first before working on swordofmoonlight.com. I will setup a shadow website somehow until we decided to do the big switch. All the pages will want to be migrated into Wordpress. Unless you want to setup an archive of the website the way it was (we have something like that at digitaldevildb.com)
