Because one website isn’t big enough…

Written by vtluu on September 12th, 2006

… to contain my ego, I’ve launched a second one: Vital Motorsports.

Actually I figured that I really needed a separate website to document my racing activities: chronicle my track/racing experiences (rather than filling up this blog with them), publish a bit of information about my car (since people keep asking me), put up a gallery of photos and videos, plug my sponsors, etc.

It’s also a chance for me to re-famliarize myself with website development. I designed vtluu.net a number of years ago and quite a lot has changed technology-wise. Rather than trying to build everything from scratch (manually writing HTML, PHP and CSS code), I’ll be using bigger “building blocks”, website software such as MediaWiki (the same wiki software used to build Wikipedia), WordPress (one of the latest-greatest blogging software), and Gallery (really nice photo gallery publishing tool).

Of course, once I’ve figured out those tools, I’ll be giving vtluu.net a long-overdue overhaul as well.
