Whoa!  I finally got the blogs updated to WP 2.6.  A few of weeks ago I attempted it and had major headaches, and it has been driving me crazy ever since then.  So I gave it another shot tonight and finally got it up and running.
Anyway, not really too many changes you guys will notice [...]

Blogs Unavailable for the Moment - Updated

Update: Well, after a day of searching through forums I still haven’t resolved the issue.  The blogs have been rolled back to 2.5.1 until I get a fix.  On the bright side, you can log in again!
I’m sure you’ve noticed by now, but the blog log-ins are not letting you in right now.  I just [...]

Technobabbles is Live!

Woot!  After a couple months worth of off-and-on coding, the WordPress theme for Technobabbles is finished, and I launched the site late last night.  I was debating whether or not to actually launch the site with a bunch of pre-written content, or just to launch it empty and let it fill up as it goes.  [...]

Check out the new joshandmeg.net photoblog!  I know a lot of you visit the site primarily to check out pictures of our little ones, and unfortunately it generally takes me forever to get all the pictures we take all organized and uploaded to an album.  In the meantime, a lot of great pictures that are [...]

I’ve just uploaded a couple of plugins for the blogs on joshandmeg.net.

Admin Drop Down Menu
Fluency Admin

Both of these plugins change the way the admin area of WordPress looks.  They can be activated independently of each other, providing a couple different changes.  If you just activate Admin Drop Down Menu, you’ll have the standard admin tabs [...]

Gallery Changes

Just a quick blurb about the Gallery.  I recently found a slick new theme for it that fits into the joshandmeg.net site design a lot better than the standard white one.  All previous functionality is still present, there is just a small button in the top left portion of the page to show the side [...]

As you will notice as soon as you login to your blogs, they’ve all been upgraded to WordPress 2.5!  It looks quite a bit different, and you can now upload multiple photos and insert them in to galleries.  So, look around, get familiar with it, and let me know if you run into any problems.  [...]

Goodbye 1and1, hello Site5. If you tried to visit the site yesterday evening, you may have noticed joshandmeg.net was nowhere to be found. Not to worry. I was migrating the site over to a new hosting company. Its quite a task and I’m only partially finished, so the photo albums are [...]

WordPress 2.5 RC-2 and Problems with MySQL 5.0.51

Yea! The site is finally back to a fully functional state. If you checked out either me or Megan’s blogs in the past week or so, I’m sure you noticed the posts were backwards (the really old posts were at the top of the page). The problem happened shortly after I upgraded to [...]

My husband is a moron.

For those of you that noticed the momentary change to the title of my previous entry, I apologize. My husband is a moron and didn’t understand the clever use of parenthetical phrasing in the tite, (Im)Patiently Waiting, and felt the need to “correct” it and make it (I’m)Patiently Waiting. After a quick verbal lashing, [...]

Success! I just upgraded joshandmeg.net to WordPress 2.5 (Release Candidate 1).  Overall it was a pretty painless upgrade.  I accidentally deleted my wp-config.php file during the process, so I had to hunt down my database data to fill in a new one.  Other than that though, I didn’t have any problems.  All my plugins still [...]

I came across a really cool website awhile back called Gravatar. It is a place where you can set up an account and upload any image to use as your avatar. This avatar is then accessed by any website set up for it, and will use the email address you registered with to [...]
