I seem to be having problems with my RSS feeds on the site today…. they’re showing up blank. Are they working for anyone else?
Then again those of you who read my posts through RSS won’t see this if the problem is indeed widespread. Hmm, conundrum!
Archive for the ‘HP Updates’ Category
I just finished upgrading to Wordpress 1.5.1. Pretty painless process, really. But there’s a big security hole that the upgrade fixes, so I recommend you do it yourself.
But please leave a comment if something on the site is busted.
For some reason Bloglines has stopped reading new entries from my feed. Anyone have any idea how to fix it? The last entry it shows is this one from about a week ago.
I’ve just done a bit of an update on the site! I had an assignment to do for my Information Architecture class, and the redesign fit it perfectly (The switch to Wordpress 1.5 a bit back was actually part of the same assignment).
No huge changes. I eliminated the ARG category listing, since I almost never post anything under it, and anything that does get put there fits under Gaming just as well. I also added in some links in the upper right, including my resume. I tweaked the existing theme a bit as well, probably nothing too noticable.
I think I’m finally almost 100% satisfied with the way the site is set up!
You might notice that I’ve upped my RSS feed to show full text of the entries. Sorry about the delay, I assumed it was already so.
I took the plunge and decided to spend my annual partial-tax-refund-indulgence on a Flickr pro account!
Now that I have the capability to sort things into unlimited albums instead of the three Flickr’s free version limited you to, I’ll be uploading pictures beyond my standard one a day. If you’ve been following my year in pictures project, here’s the new URL directly to it:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/hiddenpeanuts/sets/195162/
The old one will take you to my main Flickr page, which will henceforth have more photos than what I’ve been doing up till now. I plan on using the increased upload capacity to back up large chunks of my existing photos, as losing them is a subject of constant paranoia for me.
To see everything I upload, go here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/hiddenpeanuts/
I feel so elite!
As a side note, I’ve noticed a huge jump in the site’s stats this week thanks to, I’m assuming, the conference. We’re talking more than double my normal readership. Granted, I’m still in the double digits for visits and low triples for page views. But the growth on a percentage basis is striking. Yesterday was an all time high!
Still trying to make tags work…
Interesting blogging ideas up at StructuredBlogging.org
They’ve got a new Wordpress 1.5 plugin for standardizing the structure of reviews of items (DVDs, books, etc) in XML. Theoretically a search engine could then identify item reviews on every blog that uses the system and aggregate together the collective public wisdom of a product.
I’m gonna go play with it, try to get a sample review up.
oh, and apparently there’s templates for blogging an event, too. CIL anybody?
New theme! Comments? Questions? Suggestions? Other?
Let me know.
I’m still in the customization process a bit. Not sure what to do with those seven tempting buttons across the top, for example. But give me time and all will be well.
