New theme for the Magazine

Mon Nov 25 16:49:47 UTC 2013

Ryan, 

This partly has to do with the plugins I was testing, I will go through and remove the ones I was trying that are system heavy that are not being used anymore. I will also check out the w3 performance plugin to make sure its doing it job ok, because its throwing up warnings when I login to the site.

Yes, I have been dealing with slow loading time on Fedora Magazine. I think we do need another theme, maybe less resource-hungry...

I agree I think we can find a good theme or have one designed that would work nice with WordPress, the benefit of WordPress is the availability of hundreds of plugins out there. One being PressBackup that has saved our site once :) The good thing about WordPress on Openshift is the tools that we have to manage it and GIT. 

Also I have accepted a position at Red Hat as a Frontline Global Support working with Openshift/Cloud so if something really breaks we have a member of the Marketing team on the Support team :)

This seems really similar to Pelican (granted, I just spent a little 
time looking over their getting started page - so I could be wrong), 
which I use for my blog [1]. A static site with disqus for comments 
would be easy enough to manage. 

Still though, at it's heart we'd still have to come up with a theme 
that does everything we need. So I don't know that it would put us any 
further ahead if we switched tools.
