Errant Post
So the post that was up regarding the Windows admin stuff wasn’t ready for the light of day. I must have click post instead of post as draft from ScribeFire. Sorry about that! I’ll get it finished and post today hopefully..

No Comments »Blogging Schedule
This week I’m testing out some methods to figure out how long to spend in front of the computer writing or brainstorming. Last night I tried putting on a movie in the background on my computer and wrote/brainstormed during it just listening to the dialog. The movie of choice you ask…Why Snatch of course!
This method seemed to work pretty well..What are some other ways that you’ve tried?

5 Comments ».htaccess Redirect
For the longest time I had a problem getting my site to re-direct correctly. I wanted http://www.year26.org but for the longest time had http://year26.org. At one point it really didn’t matter to me but then when I started checking traffic stats it was difficult since I had to check both. Over the weekend I finally found the right mojo to do that via my .htaccess file.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{http_host} ^year26.org
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.year26.org/$1 [R=301,L]
And now, of course, when looking at it it’s bloody obvious but this has been tripping me up for the longest time. So..Onward to find something else to trip me up

1 Comment »Easily Keep Wordpress Updated
Over at Lone SysAdmin Bob links to a great doc on the Wordpress Codex showing you how to update your blog using Subversion. I followed it and had my blog updated within 5 min to the newest version. Now all I have to do to update my blog is run:
$ svn co http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/tags/$NEW_VERSION .and then go to the admin page, let Wordpress upgrade my database and everything is up and running. Of course make sure you back everything up before trying this but it worked for me in less than 5 minutes my blog was running new code.Posted in Geek Stuff, Website related, Wordpress |

So it seems my RSS feed is broken again. Odd, since I haven’t done anything to it. But that will have to wait until I get home to get fixed.

No Comments »Site down
The site is going to be down for a bit tonight starting at 2100 EST. I am moving everything to http://www.year26.org instead of http://year26.org/wp. This will hopefully get rid of the dups I’m starting to see in Google searches. I thought it would be a quick fix so I switched the bits in Wordpress and tried to get to the site and it wasn’t there. So I will work on this tonight and everyything should be back up in the morning.
*Edit* So I broke the site earlier. I am still trying to get some stuff worked out…Note the new link..

No Comments »Links Fixed
Well…They are fixed. But I used a really hacky way to fix it. I enclosed the Wordpress hook that calls the links in an unordered list tag. And then messed with the CSS until the spacing was correct. I’m sure this will cause other things to break. But it’s fixed for now so I’m going to leave it alone.

1 Comment »Upgrade woes
I know the links are off a bit…I’m working on it.
**Update** Meh..I got the links sort of fixed. I had to make them an unordered list which I don’t like right now..But it’s late and I’m tired so i’ll look at this later. Let me know if you find any errors or pages that don’t work just let me know.
**Update2** So I really didn’t like the way the links were looking. So they are gone until I can figure out what the hell broke.

No Comments »New Theme…and stuff
So I found this theme last night and it really caught my eye. I installed it and it really seems to suit my site. It’s very simple and clean looking which I like a lot. And aside from the CSS stylesheet being a jumbled mess it’s quite easy to work on and customize. I have been thinking about putting more into my site and possibly adding some Google AdSense ads to see if I can make a bit of money off this thing. I will need to be a lot more active in my posting and possibly find a topic to blog about regularly.

I installed a plugin called tarpit back on the 27th of Dec. So far I have not had one spam comment from any of my usual sources…I’m impressed so far…

No Comments »Comment Troubles
I have noticed that the text for my comment page is all white and I can’t seem to find the the stylesheet where that can be changed. The order for comments is:
name
email (will not be published)
website
I’m pretty sure this was working earlier…So I may have broken something in my poking around..

1 Comment »Changing
I decided to try a new theme for a while. I am not sure how much I like it. But I will let it stay and see if it grows on me…
Things at work are going well..Back to the normal ” I have worked here for 10 years and all of the sudden I can’t remember my password” bullshit. But oh well, a means to an end right?
I really don’t have a lot to say now…so I am gonna crash…
Until later
