Since it’s too hot to go outside for very long, what better place to be than behind the keyboard? OK, I can think of other places that I’d rather be, but my web sites have needed some updates for a while. I’ve made significant progress on just this site alone, but mostly I’ve just been [...]
New Look
Today, WooThemes — one of the best theme designers for WordPress out there, IMHO — released Anti-Social, a new theme that they say creates “more of an aggregation space for personal users / bloggers to create an overview of their online activities.” If you know me then you know I’m never satisfied with one look [...]
MSC Humanities Upgraded

Lucas, Photographer, and the Humanities Index over to their three free themes, Typebased, Snapshot, and Premium News, respectively. They have a subscription service, but being the poor educator [...]

Drupal to WordPress
Why is this so difficult? I’ve been looking for days, and I have yet to find a viable solution to move my Drupal site(s) to WordPress. Why? The links on WordPress’ web site are very old; Google search comes up with several promising hits, but nothing that pans out. They’re either old, or too complicated. [...]
