DavidNeedham.net made the transition to Drupal 6 and WestHost beautifully! I had a few minor hold ups, but all-in-all it ended up being a pretty easy job. The longest part was working on the theme.

When I got to D6 I realized that I'd have to make a new theme. My old theme was just sort of thrown together and didn't really do much for me. I think that this one is interesting and a lot more professional. The original theme I used as a base is called A3 Atlantis, was originally developed by John Forsythe and modified by me to fit my needs and desires for layout and general aesthetics.

My favorite part about this theme is it's ability to adjust the internal sidebar on the right based on if there is content there or not. For example, on this page and all blog pages you'll see content in the darker color to the right and more content farther out on the right. If you go to another page that does not have the internal sidebar content (ie. my portfolio) that darker region goes away and makes room for more content in the main area.

The new site has some new features like the blogroll, comment nesting, and much more coming soon. I've had a lot of time to read every page of Using Drupal by the Drupal ninja's at Lullabot and have lots of ideas for improvements. I highly recommend Using Drupal to anyone that wants to learn Drupal - even if you're already a pro at it.

I have a very exciting announcement coming in my next blog post. Almost everyone that reads my blog already knows my announcement, but I hope to create some suspense anyway. Be sure to check back next week for more information!
