WP3

Upgraded the blog software to version 3. More new features, more security, blah, blah, blah. I did however shun one new feature and that is the new multiuser support. It didn’t seem to jive with what I had going on already, but yet it didn’t seem to change in any fashion to break it either. [...]

We’re ok to go

…or so I hope.  The internet transition is finally finished back to what I had in Madison.  If conditions prevail as they did in the past, this shouldn’t be disappearing once a week for a full day or more.

Sigh

Ok, this grows tiring.  New internet is coming soon and will hopefully rectify the constantly changing IP addresses that causes the domain name to disappear until I notice and can update the A records on the registrar.  Some time next week, or so I’m told.

How it was done

Ok, so here goes a small how-to on how I managed to multi-user a WordPress install without any extra installs or WordPress branch projects.

Pure CSS Driven Sites Kick Ass!

And would you like to know why? Last night I was talking with the guildies in-game (Warcraft) and mentioned having a site that was more user driven than a static, “here we are” site. Yeah, I know…. a site for a group of people that play a game? Well… that's how stuff works in Warcraft [...]

Diversions

So, after having made the Lost in Translation page/game last year or whenever that was… I actually started on another one the very same day, or at least I kinda set up the site for it. And then as usual, I never got around to it. Until now. The LiT link has been changed into [...]
