+        {SITENAME} was built out of a need to create and manage web applications.
+        At the time, I had used wordpress but I didn't want or even need any of the blog functionality.
+        No matter what plugins you add, no matter how you customize layout, wordpress is still a blog at its core.
+        There is nothing inherently wrong with a blog, but when you start from a blog, everything is a post, or a plugin.
+        Under the hood, wordpress is going to run how wordpress wants, as a web interface for accessing text records.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+        The Tempus Project was always intended to be a web application, not a blog.
     </p>
     <p class="text-muted">
         Right now, this entire system was built and managed by myself. As stated, I have used my own version of this for years, but translating it to a publicly available product is not a 1-to-1 job. There may be bugs or issues encountered while you use the product. I can't guarantee a fix for every need in every case immediately, but I do actively keep track of bugs and work hard to ensure everyone has a great experience using the app.
