So, this is a blog
Tuesday, February 24th, 2009Well, since WordPress is a blogging software, it would be almost a shame not to have some kind of blog.
Anyway, this site is no longer running on a free web host. It is running on a VPS that is shared with a few web sites. All managed by me (and Wolfin of WagzTail who bought the server). It took me a while to get this all up and running again. I kind of ditched WebsiteBaker (however good and simple of a script it is) because WordPress seemed like it would be a little easier and WordPress skills would be a good thing to have.
There is also a little script by the same people called bbPress, which now runs the forums. I loved working with MyBB and I know it very well. I use it for a few other projects. I went with bbPress because, well, it’s dead simple. Even with the 7 or 8 plugins I have on it, it still comes no where close to MyBB. But it’s all this site needs… Something quick and simple… It also intergrates nicely with WordPress.
I do have a new computer. A Lenovo T61. Yes, with a working 1 key. That was a problem with my old computer and why you will see ^ in the story a lot. It is not a smily. That is what I used to mark where I needed a !. The older version of Open Office (1.something) let me replace this. Open Office 2.w/e could not do a text replacement on this for whatever reason. I have not tried it with the 3.x version of OO.
That’s about it for now. Thanks for reading and feel free to subscribe.
