This is the second time I’ve attempted to relaunch Entropy.

The first attempt was stillborn. I chose a theme that simply required too much work to be simply functional. This time, along with an upgrade from 2.7.1 to 2.8 I’ve selected dfBlog as my base theme. It’s proven versatile, easy to modify when its versatility isn’t enough, and compatible with browsers as ancient as Internet Explorer 6.

Since the relaunch, WordPress 2.8.1 has been released, so I’ll need to update the Entropy WordPress installation soon as well.

I also butchered the accordion category list component from the very nice theme, Sliding Doors (by Wayne Connor at Mac-Host). I’d love to widgetise it one day but I’m skeptical of my own ability to make time to do so.

For those of you that followed W.A.M., fear not for it has been assimilated into Entropy. As the juicy news that pique public interest in South Africa breaks I’ll be sure to pass running commentary on it. I’m also working on getting a WordPress RSS plugin to work that will imp0rt RSS feeds as blog posts for The Extremist. He writes over at Hellforge now (as well, hopefully) in a column/blog he calls Extreme Opinion. Check him out there in the meantime. Hopefully his articles (with appropriate links back to the source) will be live soon.

Anyway, welcome to Entropy 1.0. Where the site’s not in beta but the writing probably is.
