The birds are singing, the flowers are blooming and WordPress 2.5 has been ‘in the wild’ for a couple of weeks. These factors, and the fact that my own blog is getting a bit crufty has me thinking it is time for yet another Heal Your Church Website do-over. That and I’ve been getting some [...]

Messin’ with Petra or my Google Maps of Jordan
Busy with preparations for my press tour to Jordan, I figured I’d give my loyal readers a sneak peak at some of the maps … and the super-secret wiki I’ve been crafting.
Time to re-factor my categories
Hate the categories at HealYourChurchWebSite? Hoping the sage physician would heal thyself, or at least his navigational? Well now is your time for input, as I’m going to refactor the categories on this site so they avoid the church-speak I rail so loudly about as I point out the speck in the navigational and content elements of church and charity web sites.
Yes, in fact is is WordPress and …
Yes, in fact the final decision was indeed to use WordPress.
Though I did have to re-read-up on the ’split’ command to import/convert the vast array of MT posts.
Now I just need to figure out a few theme thingies – and figure out how to path new stuff v. old stuff and we’ll be good to get started again.
On second thought, it is WordPress
Been quiet here – because I’ve been struggling. In part, struggling with CivicSpace as I struggle to get blogs4God back on its feet. Struggling also with a generously provided copy of ExpressionEngine – truly a world-class publishing tool, but truly too much overkill for the simple blogging I’d like to do here.
I plan to write [...]
YEs, some things are broken
Yes, some of the features and articles on this site are broken for now …
… I’ve moved servers and am headed to Singapore.
But needed to get off the old server because of the buck$.
Expect exciting things in the next few weeks.
So here’s the plan – which includes ExpressionEngine and Sokkit
Yes, we’ve been a bit quiet, only because of a lot of server reshuffling of several other sites I run (or used to run). So here is the very short-term plan:
Move old MovableType version of HYCW over to the new server (sometime this week)
Upgrade my Sokkitlicense
Install ExpressionEngine on local PC equipped with Sokkit
Design EE-based site [...]
Product Analyst & Web Developer
If you live in or near Cary, NC – and are as adept at system analysis and QA as you are at web programming, then here is an ad in TriangleJobs.com that you may way want to consider.
I’m (thinking of) moving to WordPress
I know I’m about a year behind everyone else, but I think I’m going to make the move from MovableType to WordPress.
This is not because I hate one and love the other, rather I just don’t see the energy in the MT community that I see with WP. And other than multiple blogs – do [...]
Landover Baptist or Ship of Fools or Wittenburg Door? You Decide.
Asked what he thought of critics, Mel Brooks replied, “They’re very noisy at night. You can’t sleep in the country because of them.
Still one of my all-time favorite quotes, I again find it a perfect reflection of how I feel when I receive ‘love notes’ such as the response to my recent review entitled ‘Church [...]
When it Rains it Pours
What a wonderful aphorism, and how wonderfully it explains my situation: “When it Rains it Pours.”
Ever since our server belched on some Christmas turkey, we’ve had a host of problems — and now it appears my blog’s layout is busted -at least for you users of Microsoft Internet Explorer (now isn’t that a change?-). Not [...]
That was painful – yes my site was offline
Failures happen, like a Bugs Bunny-esque gremlin that latched onto server hosting HYCW. Not like I haven’t been meaning to convert all my .shtml files to .php – not like I haven’t written about how to use mod_rewrite to not loose a single precious Google link in the process.
Figures, just when I get a [...]
