GoDaddy WordPress Service

I’m in the process of relocating my travel log from Blogger to another folder I’ve set up with a copy of WordPress.  I did this all from the GoDaddy account management page.  They’ve really improved their management tools, and it was completely easy to do.  The only mistake I made was getting impatient with the […]

A Test of MapPress Easy Maps

Related to an earlier post on Google Maps, which changed to something unusable for me, this is a test of a WordPress widget for imbedding a map in WordPress content.  If this seems usable, I will most likely migrate my travel log out of Blogger to a site here in my lschofield domain.  This will give […]

Changed Twitter Widget

I just disabled the widget Twitter for WordPress on my personal WordPress site, and replaced with the one Easy Twitter Feed Widget.  I preferred the Twitter for WordPress I was using; it was simpler configuration and didn’t try and have a lot of its own formatting so it was easy to fit in as a menu item […]

WordPress Dashboard Resolved (Maybe)

This post on the WordPress support forums seems to have helped me resolve the bad Dashboard display, although I can’t point to a specific issue.

WordPress Dashboards Failed

Having trouble posting.  All the dashboards failed even though the sites are running fine.  A couple of posts on support forums indicate I’m not the only having problems, but no answers being reported.  Messed up dashboard and the way its supposed to work shown below: Screwed Up Screen from WordPress Update: http://lschofield.net/technical/2010/04/wordpress-dashboard-resolved-maybe/

Loading Old Content

This install of WordPress is 2.8 – a number of minor versions from where I was.  The work done on this product is pretty impressive, the Dashboard and management tools behind the scenes are slick, well designed, and easy to use.  The plugin and widget implementation have removed almost all my desire to tinker with […]

WP Templates…

First, helps to set the wp-content “themes” directory to allow writing.  Duh. Not too bad.  I’m starting from a template from Mike Little that is clean with both sides having a column.  I think by the time I’m done its doing to have little in common with the original outside of the CSS layout information.

Recent WordPress Install

Some more details… This site (and some others here) are powered by the wonderful WordPress “blog” content management tools.  The site is currently powered by Red Hat-Apache-PHP-MySQL (the “LAMP” approach), and WordPress is an obvious selection with this framework.  I’ve tried a bunch, and even use Blogger and some other things, but I want to […]
