wordpress 2.1…

Wednesday, January 24th, 2007

Totally updated the blog software today… just writing this post to see the new editor. It’s… kinda familiar. I like the auto-save though. Also of interest is the ability to make any page the front page of the site and leave the blog posts elsewhere. Makes wordpress more of a CMS… which might make Lyceum more of a CMS. Hmm….

updating site…

Sunday, May 29th, 2005

So get ready for some strangeness…

that is, more than you IE users have already been witnessing.

Update: Awesome. Updated to Wordpress 1.5.1.2. And the site looks okay. This is the default theme so I plan to work on some new ones later. If you notice any problems, let me know in the comments. And feel free to suggest some themes.

Now I’m off to make some paella burgers.

they found me…

Just received (and deleted) my first set of comment spam. I’m somebody now…

edit: small change made to the comments that will hopefully stop the spam… if it doesn’t, then I’ll have to disable it while I research a more robust way of killing the messages.

edit2: commenting has been suspended until further notice. thanks mr. spammer. All those posts for a site that doesn’t get any hits…

gah…

I know, I know…

The site still looks terrible in Win IE and Opera. Luckily, I have test machine for a week to get things right. I’ll fix it tomorrow along with (perhaps) updating WordPress. Tonight, my Tar Heels will be playing in the Final Four and I have plans to travel to the bars on Franklin Street.

ADD design

Gah… I just got the site up and I’m already thinking about a redesign… Hell, this design isn’t even ready. Still, I’m thinking something cleaner. I’m also thinking of a way to switch between the two designs. A lot of work to do, plus the tourney is on, and I got a ton of games to play. Way too much to do…

WordPress

I’m working on getting WordPress up and running… I have it going on my local machine but I have to change the template and get ibiblio to set up a mySQL account for me.

Everything should work out fine but I’m having some problems with the permalinks. If I turn them on nothing works - no categories, no archives, nothing. It’s not critical though, so I hope to get the blog version of the site up soon.
