When WordPress Rode into Drupal Country
Well, partner, on October 25, we saddled up and pulled off another big move — blog.utc.edu finally rode into the same hosting sunset as www.utc.edu. After years of livin’ on different ranches (servers, if you’re fancy), these two digital cowpokes are now together at last! Cue the tumbleweed and triumphant harmonica.
Back in the day, WordPress and Drupal each had their own patch of land. WordPress handled the blog posts; Drupal wrangled the main site. But keeping ’em on separate servers was like herding cattle with two different maps…and lots of dust.
So our trusty web wranglers rustled up a plan: move both to the same hosting corral. And boy, did that pay off.
Why We Hitched ’Em Together
- Less Wranglin’: One server means fewer updates, fewer rodeos, and less duplicatin’ of effort.
- Faster Horses: Shared caching and resources make both sites gallop faster than a jackrabbit on espresso.
- Stronger Fort: Centralized security keeps the outlaws (hackers) at bay.
- Slimmer Ledger: Consolidation at a lower cost — that’s more gold in the digital saddlebag.
- Happy Crew: Devs and editors now ride side by side, makin’ content smoother than Tennessee whiskey.
The Afterparty
Since the move, both sites have been purrin’ like a well-fed mountain lion — faster load times, fewer hiccups, and a whole lot less fixin’. It’s a cleaner, meaner, leaner setup for everyone.
The Big Picture
This wasn’t just movin’ code around — it was a full-on web frontier alliance. One vision, one server, one unstoppable posse.
