I’ve tried the beta 3 of the upcoming 3.2 release of WordPress. Wow! Its a lot snappier. The site loads a tad quicker but the biggest speed boost is behind the scenes in the admin panel.
The theme is clean and logical, as well, from what I see. More exploring, I must do.
I know that its been a while since I last wrote anything here. I am languishing with my site, don’t you know? I found this artist on Jamendo and I couldn’t not share. Head on over and have a listen to Bella Ruse. Her lyrics are catchy and her voice is inviting.
CSS Naked day has taken over this site. Remember that I have installed a plugin to take care of ensuring that the style sheet won’t be used during the day of April 9th (one international day – could appear to be 48 hours). Its just a way to promote awareness about the importance of design for everyone. This is the way that a text reader would see my site and, thus, read it to a sight-impaired person, for example.
Read about why I’ve been doing this along with many others here.
That’s the term that I’ll use for this website status. Its been languishing. Is that not a better term than neglected? Ignored?
I wish that I could say that I was doing wonderful and awesome things in the world, but I’m just plugging along. This site has suffered, as a result.
I think that its time for a code overhaul and a redesign (even if its a slight one). This theme has not had any serious structural changes since about the WP 2.6 time. A lot of functionality has crept into the code and I should take advantage of it. Don’t expect any radical visual changes though (but its about time I got the nested comments set up…)
Back to languishing…
Well, I just wanted to share the fun I had driving to work this morning. When I left the house (which has electric heat), the power was out. We aren’t used to that. Apparently, the Utility reports that they will have it back on within the next 1-2 hours. So, my family will be cold and hungry for a while yet. Water pump works on electric…
The closest I could get to show this morning's weather
Ironically, its supposed to be sunny and nice this afternoon. Just saying.
Perhaps someone else started it, but I don’t know who. So, I’m saying that Mel started it!
You have a band. You need a band name, a title for your first album and an album cover design.
Here’s how to do it:
1 – Go to Wikipedia and hit random. The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.
2 – Go to quotationspage.com and hit random. The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.
3 – Go to Flickr and click on “explore the last seven days”. Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
4 – Use Photoshop or similar (picnik.com is a free online photo editor) to put it all together.
5 – Post it on your blog along with these instructions, and trackback or link to your post in these comments.
Here’s mine:
My new band, apparently
