Masuga Design Now Running on ExpressionEngine

April 22, 2008

It only took more than a year (see this post from March 11, 2007) and three very late nights in a row this last weekend, but masugadesign.com has finally been transitioned off of Wordpress onto ExpressionEngine. It actually wasn’t terribly difficult, but, true to form, I found a million little things that I wanted to update or tweak along the way. As they say, I am now “eating my own dog food”, or “sipping my own champagne.”

Just glad that’s over with, so now we can get back to business. Carry on!

    Congrats on making the move to ExpressionEngine!  We just went through the same process a few months ago, so I’m intimately familiar with the “million little things”.  Having made the move from WordPress, there are certainly pros and cons to ExpressionEngine, but on the whole we’re pleased with it.  I was actually just looking for Star Rating plugin for EE and came across your site.  Now that you’re on EE, any chance you’ll make an EE plugin for your AJAX star rating?  I haven’t attempted to implement into any EE templates yet, but I’ll be giving it a try soon.

    @Adam - I do have an idea for an EE ratings module. Solspace already has one, but I think mine would be a nice alternative (their version is $49 per site, I think).

    I know the script has been successfully used on EE sites before - though not by me!

    Solspace seems to charge for a lot of their EE module/plugins, so I’d love it if there as an alternative!  In the interim though, I’ll see if I can get your script up and running.  If there are any examples of sites that use your script that you can send over that would be great!
