Get Firefox

I’m planning to make some updates to the layout of my site soon, and I’m enlisting the help of a few friends. One of them just asked me if my site needs to support IE6. Without thinking I said no, because I know what a nightmare it is to code/develop for that browser. After making [...]

Blogging About Blogs

I changed over to WordPress earlier this year, and have been intending to create a custom skin for quite some time. I like doing web development work, and have some ideas that I think would be cool. I have come to the conclusion that this is not going to happen. I have several hobbies, one [...]

Web 2.0verload

I’m slowly working through my site redesign, and there are so many options that its a little overwhelming. I don’t mean that I want everything under the sun on my website, quite the contrary. There are some things that I’ve seen on other blogs that I’d like to implement on mine. Like, moblogging, and social [...]

Hammering CSS

I finished up all of the day’s studies early today. I was able to get an early start because my 9:00 class was cancelled this morning. So, this afternoon I had a few minutes to kill. I went over to the computing center that offers Macromedia products and started tinkering with some site layouts using [...]

Switch

And on the blog software switch, once I get it all configured properly (almost done), then I’ll start working on a customized look. I’m just inches away from having moblogging configured, which is just cool. I tinkered with it into the wee hours last night. I can’t remember if I said it before or not, [...]

Wow

I had done my homework, so I knew this swap wasn’t going to be too difficult, but less than 30 minutes?? I had no idea. Now the customization begins….

Worse Before Better

Okay, I have now found the solution. I’m going to migrate this blog to WordPress sometime within the next couple of weeks. Not only will that make spam management easier, it’ll make EVERYTHING easier. Tagging, social bookmarking, moblogging, photoblogging, spam & comment management, and more. I’ve set up a blog and configured all of these [...]

Selection

I had some free time today, so I did some research on blogging software. Wow has it come a long way in the past year and a half (which is when I starting tinkering with b2evolution). As much as I have loved b2evo, I think I have found one that would be a better fit [...]

Humans Only!

Last night in the nine hours between when I went to bed, and when I logged on this morning, this site had received no less than 65 comment spams. That’s just too much to deal with. So, first thing this morning, I implemented capcha in my comments. From now on, if you want to post, [...]
