Prior to WordPress, I used CodeIgniter, which lived at the root of peelman.us. When I installed WordPress, I wasn’t sure if I was going to like it or not, so I stuffed it into a sub-directory of the site, http://peelman.us/wordpress and did some funky .htaccess rules to redirect requests there. Its been almost two years since I switched, and I haven’t looked back, so I figured it was time to adjust things. WordPress is now the site root, so I apologize in advance for any broken links or issues getting to content.
