Blog Carnival Update

admin — Wed, 06 May 2009 00:55:55 +0000

We just got back in town late last night; a friend of ours passed away.

Right now, I’m going to get some much needed sleep. I’ll be working on the posts for the blog carnival tomorrow. This has been pretty successful, so I think I’ll start doing a monthly carnival.

If you’d like to keep tabs on the results of this carnival and on the ones upcoming, subscribe to my RSS feed and follow me on twitter.

Spiffy new theme

admin — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 02:56:41 +0000

Well, how do you like the new theme?

I got it at themelab as a free download. I have to say it is the most painless install of a wordpress theme I’ve EVER done. I only had to do a couple code edits, and those were very simple.

If you’re looking for a new wordpress theme, check these guys out. They have quite a few nice-looking free ones, and if they’re all this easy to install, even better.

By the way, I ran across them via my twitter feed. Somehow I ended up following themelab on twitter.

Ugh…

I got a fun case of food poisoning earlier in the week, and now that I’m feeling better, I’m playing catch-up in a lot of areas. Bear with me.

Still here…

admin — Mon, 12 May 2008 11:16:22 +0000

Yes, I’m still here. I’ve been telling myself how busy I am, what with spring and yard work and new kittens born to “our” stray cat. Then there was my birthday and Mother’s day (and the shawl I very nearly finished for my mom).

The truth is, though, my creativity has been running a bit low lately, and I just couldn’t bring myself to write for the blog, or for anything really. I’ve been getting the itch the last few days though, and I’m hoping that my little hiatus will have me back and feeling inspired.

In short, I’m back.

Updating Theme

admin — Sat, 29 Mar 2008 01:45:16 +0000

I’m making some theme changes tonight, so if things look odd for a bit, that’s why. Update: Things look okay to me so far. The archives work, and that’s been a problem for ages. If you notice any problems, drop … Continue reading →

Oh, God

admin — Sat, 08 Mar 2008 23:02:37 +0000

Sorry about being away so long, but I’ve been down with the worst case of the flu I’ve had since I was a kid. I’m still not feeling particularly well, but I wanted everyone to know I’m still here. I’ll … Continue reading →

Intermittent Blog Problems

admin — Fri, 02 Nov 2007 00:34:04 +0000

The blog seems to be having some issues today. It’s available sporadically, and I’ve turned in a ticket, but I’m not sure what’s up. Please be patient (I’m trying to be, and failing miserably!)

Looks like I may be moving the blog after all, but we’ll see.

I’m working on my Nano goal of 2000 words today, so no more posting until later. I can’t keep a reliable connection anyway. Sorry everyone!

RSS issues, AGAIN

admin — Fri, 12 Oct 2007 00:17:07 +0000

I’m pretty frustrated with my hosting company. My RSS feed is broken again, because they block feedburner IP addresses because feedburner takes up too many resources.

I’m still trying to digest that.

They turn it on and off periodically, which really makes matters worse. As soon as I get used to the feed working again, poof, it’s gone. I have yet another help desk ticket in, but I’m seriously considering moving the blog to another server this weekend.

If it comes to that, I’ll let you know!

–update. RSS is back up!
