latest posts relevant to ‘sitenews’

a minor update

doesn’t really even qualify for a 9.1 release, but a note. this new design has meant a lot of images going away, since i’m currently only showing the full post for the first item, and the post excerpt for all subsequent items.

i’ve made a change to show the ‘featured’ image within post excerpts, to bring back an image for each post (if i’ve attached an image and tagged it as featured). i’ll do some different formatting for this image depending upon the layout of the page, but for now – images will be back.

nixed tweets

just a quick site news update – had to remove the Twitter Tools widget from the utility column. Twitter is having issues (again) and the plugin i was using to retrieve my latest tweets was not written to handle Twitter being unavailable. it may return in the future, but breath holding is not recommended.

site update: a bit of design work

not earth-shattering developments, but i’ve made a few updates to my site theme that may or may not be interesting, depending on whether you are a geek or not. in no particular order, the changes include: the site name is larger, and the byline is moved to the right of it the main page width […]

so things look different…

trying offline editing, again

well now, that's different

something has changed here! after just a few years running the Drupal content management system, i’ve switched again. this time, to WordPress. why? because i want to be like the coolkids. no, i kid. sorta. because i don’t need Drupal. i don’t need the extensive community-supporting framework. i just need a blog, and i want […]
