Theme Change
I’ve changed the theme on this blog to the Hybrid theme. I was tired of how busy the old theme was, and I wanted more space for graphics and code snippets. If you have any suggestions for cleaning things up even more, please let me know.
Site Design Changed
Given that it’s been months since there was any talk of redesigning this website, I’ve decided to just pick a nicer look template from the WordPress directory and modify it for my tastes. You’re looking at the results. Hopefully this will induce me to write more and proofread the enormous amount of notes I already [...]
Integrating MP3′s Into The Site
A thousand thanks go out to the author of the WordPress Audio Player plugin found at 1 Pixel Out. This plugin is one of the cleanest, best-designed and most useful plugins I’ve ever seen — perhaps even the best one I’ve ever seen. My thanks given, let’s get onto exploiting this newfound power irresponsibly by [...]
Site Improvements
As I write this, I’m in the middle of programming a series of improvement for this site. At the moment, you should see some rough drafts of these changes already active: the addition of photogalleries incorporated directly into the site, the addition of footnotes for attributing quotations, general cleanup of the design and a lot [...]
Adding Photogalleries To The Site
The process of adding photos to this site is now underway. I’ve found that the open source photogallery management system Gallery 2 (go here for more information) does nearly all that I need and can be well integrated with WordPress. There’s theme hacking to be done yet to make everything look nice, but I’ve already [...]
Playing With Themes
I’m currently in the process of playing with the theme engine in WordPress, so the appearance of this site may fluctuate a great deal in the next few days. Currently, I’ve changed the site over to the Wuhan theme and modified the theme a bit to give the site a more distinctive look and a [...]
Crabwork
I am currently in the process of adding back the entries from the past to this website — slowly working my way backwards from the present. As such, if you’re interested, feel free to browse previous months as the entries from those months get placed back online. As of this moment, all of the entries [...]
Incipit
The transition to the new server is now begun as of this very minute of posting. Slowly this server and this new site will replace the old server and the old site across the Internet as www.johnmyleswhite.com beguns to point to this server instead of the old one. Please feel encouraged to make suggestions as [...]
Undead
As a few of you probably know, because of a slightly misdesigned protocol that BlueHost has, my account was suspended yesterday and all of my files deleted with the result that, after restoring my account, the work I did on Sunday and Monday was wiped out along with about two weeks of posts. Fortunately, my [...]
The Move To BlueHost And WordPress
Today, this site has been moved over to BlueHost, a hosting service with which I am already much happier than I was with the site’s previous host, Fortune City. My email service should be more reliable from now on, the bandwidth allotted to the site is far greater and, most importantly, the site can now [...]
