Every now and then I check out the site analytics, just to kind of see how many page views we get and where people are coming to the site from. Today I was shocked to see this crazy spike in traffic the past couple days. At first I was pretty confused about what was driving [...]
After a little over a year, it is finally finished. Granted, the code has been sitting dormant at about 75% complete for over a year, but still; from the time Meg and I started on the design layout back in December of 2009, until I finished the code today, it’s been in the works. Version [...]
In preparation for the new joshandmeg.net 3.0 (it’s nearly finished, I promise!), I upgraded our Gallery installation to the new Gallery 3 Release Candidate. Gallery 3 is a complete rewrite of the application from the ground up, it’s significantly more responsive because of the rewrite, but a lot of the old functionality provided by add-on [...]
So Meg and I have finally wrapped up the design portion of the joshandmeg.net 3.0 redesign. It’s shaping up really nicely I think, so I decided I’d share it now since it’ll be awhile before the actual coding is done. Sneak peak is actually probably a bit of a misnomer, since I’ve included nearly every [...]
joshandmeg.net is now officially migrated from my shared hosting account on Site5 to my own server, affectionately dubbed ‘Cortana’ (technically cortana.keppynet, where keppynet is my network name at home, and cortana is… ). Since you’re still reading, I’m assuming you want all the nitty-gritty details. All in all, it went remarkably well, much better than [...]

5 comments Development has begun on the third version of joshandmeg.net! The current iteration of the site has been active for nearly two and a half years now, and it’s beginning to feel a bit dated. The new design is going to be a pretty drastic change from the way the site has looked and felt for [...]
joshandmeg.net just broke 20,000 SPAM comments. Quite an achievement I think. Seriously, 20K! We had less than 100 a couple years ago. 30,000, here we come.
FTC takes down a spam provider « Akismet. Man, I totally called this a while back. I hope those people get the death sentence.
So here’s something interesting I’ve noticed over the past few weeks: SPAM seems to be slowing down a bit. Not just email SPAM either, but SPAM comments on this very blog have seen a very steep slow down over the past several weeks. The chart below shows the number of SPAM comments posted to this [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]
Woot! joshandmeg.net was finally approved for the Woopra beta. Woopra is a very new cutting-edge website statistics application, viewable through the members area of the website and through a desktop client for Linux, Mac, and Windows. Here is a screenshot of the dashboard area, I’m gonna go play with it for awhile now. I’ll post [...]
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. [...]
May 2, 2008 - Filed Under: - no comments yet 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 temporarily unavailable. I should [...]
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 the release [...]
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, and [...]
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 pull your [...]
I upgraded the site to WordPress 2.3 a couple weeks ago, and it added a couple things and changed the way posts are organized. Namely, posts can now have an upper level Category applied to them as well as multiple Tags describing what the post is about. As part of this, a new widget has [...]
3.5.1, Carrington, and
