Blog Upgraded

Published by James under Site

Well it didn’t take long, just a few minutes, but I’ve managed to get my blog upgraded to WordPress v2.5. I knew the new version would be out any moment now, since WordPress displays news about development every time I log into WordPress.
The GUI for the administrator panel is quite a bit different. [...]

Forum Software

Published by James under Personal, Site

A while back I mentioned trying to choose which forum software to install on one of my fan sites. Well, I decided to go with MyBB for the time being. The interface is simple but it appears to have everything I need in a forum.
Installation went nicely. I didn’t find one hiccup [...]

It’s Alive!

Published by James under Gaming, Site

The other day Ogre and I briefly chatted about bringing back some of our old sites. He’d like to bring more gaming info to his blog, but there’s no substitute for his old Through The Ages (TTA) fan site for Age of Empires.
The same is true for my fan site for RollerCoaster Tycoon, RCT [...]

Testing New Theme

Published by James under Site

For a little while, I played around with a new theme. I doubt anybody saw it, but I like the overall look of it. It took quite a lot of customizing. One of the problems is the site has a lot of pages (my OLD episode reviews), and those all showed up [...]

WordPress Upgrade

Published by James under Site

WordPress upgrades are always a pain in the ass. They don’t include a decent changelog in their pack as far as I can find, but there is one available on the web. I only just came across it. It’s going to be a big help in the future. Something I always [...]

Small Change

Published by James under Site

If you haven’t noticed, I added sub-categories to the large television category. I’ve been meaning to do this for some time now. It’ll take me a while to go through all of the old posts and cross-post them to the appropriate sub-categories, but the organization will be much neater in the long run [...]

Weekend

Published by James under Personal, Site

I’m glad to see that the weekend is coming up. Fridays are always hectic. It’s rush, rush, rush at IGN. But I got all of my work in for the day and managed to get assigned to another show to review. You’ll see links to those reviews here next week…
Ogre, you asked [...]

Spam Blocker

Published by James under Site

Blog spam was a huge pain in the ass for me a while back. I’d get a lot of comments and trackbacks that was mostly related to prescription drugs. Although very few of those comments and trackbacks appeared on the blog, I’d get email notifications about them from wordpress and I’d have to [...]

New Host

Published by James under Site

Well, I’ve got a lot to talk about, but not much time, so I’ll just highlight one thing and that’s the site. I’ve changed hosts. I stuck it out with Dreamhost for an entire year and finally gave up. The site was down more often that it was up it seems.
Hopefully everybody’s [...]

Back to Work

Published by James under Other, Personal, Site

Well IGN began publishing again today after the holiday break and I must admit it’s good to be back. Along with getting the new Dell PC, I moved my computer station to another room. I still haven’t gotten everything unpacked and sorted to where I want, so I’m really “out of it” right [...]
