I am pleased to announce that my blog has been included in the Top 50 Business Professor Blogs. This list was compiled by MBA Explorer, a content website for MBA program information. I feel honored to be included in the list, and I hope that Ping! will prove useful to prospective and existing MBA students.

After having migrated my website to the Mambo content management system, I gradually realized its limitations when it comes to blogging. According to many posts I’ve read on the Internet, Mambo is not a blogging platform. Hence caution for those who need blogging as a main functionality of their website. My solution to this problem was to use both Mambo and WordPress. After tweaking around with the WordPress template for a couple of hours, I was able to match its look and feel with my website. You can click on the main menu links in the left panel to see the look and feel of the Mambo part of this website. I did this integration by (1) sharing the same CSS file to ensure look consistency; (2) borrow Mambo’s index.php file and modify it by taking out Mambo modules and adding in WordPress commands.

I suppose after all this work, I am sort of back to where I first started, with my website on one system and my blog on another. But it’s nice to have the two integrated on the same server. One complaint I do have about Mambo though is its search-engine and human-unfriendly URLs. I am looking for add-ons that may solve this problem.
