OP-EZY 8.0

The OP-EZY International website has been updated to version 8.0. Visually it looks similar, but underneath it's a totally different beast. It's now running on WordPress, with the theme adapted from MagicPage to slot in place on WordPress.

Why the change? Well, the code powering MagicPage hadn't been updated in 4 years. 4 years is a long time to go without updates, and as there wasn't enough time to maintain it, we decided it was easier, and safer to switch to an actively developed CMS instead. Also, at the end of this month, OP-EZY International will have been online for 10 years, so an update to the site was long overdue.

That being said, we can finally announce general availability of MagicPage CMS which is available here: https://github.com/roberthawdon/magicpage

Please feel free to fork it and make it great. Be warned if you're going to use it on your own site, it's protected by Swiss Cheese Security™ - one of the many reasons we didn't release the code until all of our sites were no longer running on it.

Cheers

OP-EZY 7 - Quick Update

Development is still going with OP-EZY 7, the new site will be rolled out as soon as I feel MagicPage is ready enough to host a public website. It doesn't mean that MagicPage itself will be ready for public consumption though.

Once MagicPage is at the stage I want it, the plan is to release it under the GNU Public Licence (GPL), step back a little, and let the world's more experienced hackers, take it into more practical directions. Watch this space!

Anyone interested in seeing the current development of OP-EZY 7 can have have a look in our development area, Sandbox 4. (at the time of writing)
