If Anyone is Wondering Why…
… I’ve written more blog posts for this month than I have for the previous, oh maybe, three years combined, it’s because I’ve been using Windows Live Writer to manage my blog posts (and pages). It’s a wicked tool that makes it super easy to manage blog content. In my experience so far it has flawlessly handled posting and updating my WordPress based site.
Upgrading a WordPress Site Using Subversion
A few weeks ago I finally made the upgrade jump from WordPress version 2.5.1 to version 2.6.2. I skipped the versions in between because while I haven’t got a lot of experience upgrading WordPress, from what experience I have had it has usually been a pain. Especially if I’ve done any kind of customization (which I have).
So when I did make the jump to 2.6.2 I resolved to do it in such a way that any future upgrades would be easy. So what’s the obvious solution to the problem of controlling versions? Version control, of course! I am a big Subversion user and luckily the creators of WordPress are Subversion users too!
Custom WordPress FAQ "Mashup"
I’ve just hacked together a custom WordPress FAQ on this site. Not because I specifically wanted an FAQ on this site, but I do want one on another upcoming site so I figured I’d use this site as a test bed for how I was going to achieve the desired look-and-feel.
Windows Live Writer
Howdy y’all! Just testing out posting to my blog using Windows Live Writer software. Pretty slick!
here we go again!
and thus begins yet another attempt to revive my long neglected blog! back to WordPress. we’ll see how it goes. i’m starting with a pre-made theme which i am slowly customizing. i’m also going to import some of my favourite posts from the old site. and probably a few other pages.
stay tuned!
poof!
and just like that, the old site is back, resurrected from the ashes of daphne. some parts of the site still need some tweaking, and hopefully i’ll do that over the next few weeks. if you come across any broken links or error messages, drop a note in the comments of this post. thanks!
so, what have i been doing for the last 13-14 months? enjoying being a father mainly. my daughter emma was born april 6, 2006. there is nothing quite like the look on her face when you come home from a long day at work. just cheers you right up.
we also moved last october to a townhome, not far from where our terrace home condo was. it’s nice to have a little backyard, even if it is the size of a postage stamp!
