The man behind the curtain is hard at work again

Things may be fluid around here for the next few weeks. I’ve upgraded to WP 2.3, but I didn’t know what I didn’t know and something isn’t compatible. If you click on the single-post view you will see an error. According to the WP forums, it’s an incompatibility with a plugin or the theme. I’m […]

So, what do you think of the new header?

Yeah, I’m fishing for compliments, so sue me. I worked hard to figure out how to create those images. I’m using Gimp, an open source competitor to Photoshop. Photoshop. I’ve only used Photoshop Elements before, and it was definitely more user-friendly, but that’s what Elements is all about - taking the most popular and widely-used […]

Need a little technical advice

You might have noticed that I changed the default text header to a graphic image. Looks great in Firefox on a flatscreen monitor. But in IE6, I see a purple box around the image representing the link to the homepage. I’ve changed the CSS to show the link as black, so it’s still there but […]

Friggin’ GoDaddy…

Yes, GoDaddy screwed me again

No calls, no follow-ups to the "escalation" of issues surrounding the deletion/restore of my site.
I reloaded Wordpress on my own, and will load my back-up files from a week ago tonight. Then, re-post my salvaged posts from the intervening week.
Again.
This weekend, the search for a new host begins in earnest. I already have a couple […]

Too much drama

Ok, it looks like I’ve recovered the posts. Still no comments, though. If anyone has some bright ideas, let me know.
Lesson learned: Export your posts to an xml file at whatever frequency you’re comfortable with doing back-ups. I believe it will save comments as well, but I’m not sure - I’ll find out, though.
If you’ve […]

Continuing to have issues

If you were here earlier you saw that I’ve lost everything. Godaddy says it’s my fault. Maybe. Maybe not.
I have a plan for rebuild, I’m just ironing out a few more technical issues with the set-up before reloading the posts.
