2005Blog Update

2005
Hey, cyberfriends… A couple announcements about the site. First, all the photo galleries are back. I’m managing (and web-exporting) them with Picasa2 and hosting them myself. Seems I’ve got plenty of storage space to handle it. This works out pretty well. I’ll also be posting pics on Flickr (including camera phone pictures, which won’t show up on this site). Flickr offers some neat features like RSS feeds, so check that out.
Secondly, I’ve upgraded to a new version of WordPress for managing the blog. Of course, this doesn’t really affect you guys much, except it’s got a handy new way of handling comment moderation. If you’ve had to deal with the email confirmation process in the past, that’s gone now. Spamming and general jackassery will still get filtered, even better than usual, but friendly frequent posters will now be able to post immediately without moderation. Hooray!
Finally, I’ve added a “hosting” page, where you can sign up to host your site on my server. Now, why would you want to do this? Well, if you just want cheap hosting, you probably don’t, since there are cheaper services around. Primarily this is for people whose sites I develop and manage (as kind of a package deal) but, hey, if you want some hosting and want to be able to personally complain to me if something breaks, it’s open to everyone. Check it out.
OK, that’s all for now. Hopefully some new, useful, content will be coming soon. Imagine that!
