since I started blogging using a blogging site. (actually hand-coded a travel blog in 2000 while my bro and I were biking across the country)

moved server
My previous post announcing that the server was about to be changed no longer exists!
It’s like the Twilight Zone! omg!! rofl!!1!!
ahem… anyway, it seems like my permalinks are broken so things like my CV and About page and any page, really, including single-post pages, are broken…
Fixing it ASAP, especially since I’ve started sending out job applications and include my url in my contact details…
Fixed! <undelete> though I had to change my permalinks from markdangerchen.net/year/mo/dy/post to markdangerchen.net/?p=nnnn which, personally, I don’t prefer since I think seeing the date in the address bar is more meaningful than the post ID…</undelete>
For reals now… thanks Erik!
Uh… I had to switch it back to default permalinks again since for some reason my CV page wasn’t working…
Changed the name of my CV page which fixed the permalink.
It’s snowing!… Also, just updated WordPress…
Hopefully nothing breaks outside my home and hopefully nothing breaks on my online home. 🙂
I also changed themes… will try this one out for a while. I never liked how my old one (Stardust) made the Google Reader widget too small to read. This new theme (Fluid Blue), however, doesn’t support tags (just the old school categories). hrm…
Twitter and google reader
I’m finding myself using Twitter more often these days, doing status updates rather than longer blog posts… and since I also just share items I find on the web using google reader, I am not really posting cool web stuff I find, either. Most of the stuff I’ve been posting lately has either been exceptionally cool in some way (completely subjective of course) or stuff that isn’t itself an RSS feed, so I can’t share it with google…
Anyway, if you want to see my status updates, you’ll have to either get a Facebook account and friend me or follow me on Twitter (username: McDanger).
And if you want to see the stuff I’m sharing through google, you’ll either have to visit this site and look at the embedded shared items gadget I have (on the right) or get a google account and start using reader yourself (and add markdangerchen as a contact). The latter method is probably more in line with my personal practices… I mean I don’t really visit other people’s blogs or news sites anymore, I just read their feeds using my preferred app, and you should too!
Long story, short: this is my blog post that semi-apologizes for lack of updates.
Messing with my blog…
White is the new black. PlainTXT is the new Royale. But alas, I didn’t have time to mess with the sidebar width, so I’m now using Stardust. But… grrr… tags aren’t being displayed, only categories…
messing with RSS feeds as WordPress widgets…
As you can see above…
I’m joining Terry Schenold and others in the Critical Gaming Project at UW, and part of what we’re doing is setting up/maintaining a website with a blog and a forum, so I’m seeing how forum posts could be showcased on a blog by using mine as a testbed. 🙂
