So, I’ve upgraded WordPress and updated the theme on the site. It’s still a canned theme, as I’ve not gotten the time nor had the inclination to cough one up from scratch. I just got tired of the endless iterations of the K2 Theme. Maybe if they ever finish it, I’ll be more inclined to [...]

Okay, so I didn’t want to say anything, because I didn’t want anyone to know, but I broke the photo gallery on the site. Apparently, when you upgrade the plugin, you also deactivate the plugin. Go figure. Anyways, the photo gallery is back up and working.
Don’t tell anyone it broke.

I’ve been wanting to change the look of this site for a while, so rather than get off my butt and code a theme from scratch, I installed and configured Release Candidate 2 of K2, a new theme for WordPress. It’s a very versatile theme, and let me do a lot of customization (adding the [...]

I’ve been thinking about this for a while, and I finally gave in. At the bottom of the page, I’ve added Google AdSense code. There’s a pretty good chance that it’ll generate all of ten cents annually for me, but I’m curious to see just how it works.
Should I decide that AdSense isn’t for me, [...]

I want to integrate lots of stuff into this site, but some of it may take time. On the list (in my head) are:

del.icio.us
Gallery (complete site integration)
30 Boxes
last.fm

I’m sure I’ll find more stuff as I go along, but this is the short list. I’m still on the fence as to weather to add a forum, [...]

Okay, I’ve got the site management software running, and a copy of Gallery has been put in place. Now I just need to (over time) make small modifications to the site over time. With WordPress, I’ll be able to integrate my 43 Things blog as well as a few other pieces of syndicated content.
Huzzah!
