CodewiseBlog is the blog system I wrote to power this site. It's a very robust system, supporting multiple users from the same codebase and database, customizable skins using a powerful skin engine, and everything else you can see here. It's fast, it's easy to run, and it's open source, available under the GNU General Public License.

The project is hosted at GitHub. It requires only PHP, Apache, and MySQL.

Due to recent unacceptable site performance, I've decided to move Codewise.org and all associated domains to a different hosting provider ASAP.

I've informed WestHost to not renew my contract, so the account will expire some time in late August. However, I plan to have all sites moved well before then.

An early apology to all Codewise.org users (yes, both of you): site performance has sucked. I know. And it's probably going to get worse before it gets better. A good idea would be to not change any of your data over the next few days, as it's migrated to a new host. Or, if you do, please let me know so your changes are not lost.

Currently I'm examining my options with regards to hosting (specifically, VPS providers - Codewise's configuration is a little complex for your ordinary web host). I'd love to go for Linode, but they're a little out of my price range right now. Maybe in the future. Other than that, looking good so far is Spry's VPSLink subsidiary. If anyone knows anything, good or bad, about them, let me know, or any other suggestions. I won't be purchasing a contract for a few days due to money being tight (I'm setting up a new apartment, and things have to be paid for...).
