I’m Back!
Colorado Sunset
Hello All! Just a quick post to let you know I’m back online. I made some silly mistakes this weekend when I decided to tweak my blog. Let’s just say that the tweak became a complete overhaul when I broke my website and had to repair and reload everything. Luckily, I had a back up of my blog, along with posts and comments. Many of the images are broken and the posts wonky, so I will be fixing those in the near future. Also, I’m not sold on the header – but I had to have something up there.
While I was in the throws of near blog catastrophe despair, I learned a lot and then decided to go ahead and combine my website and blog using WordPress to power the whole kit and kaboodle. I also upgraded to the newest version of wordpress – 2.6 and then upgraded my K2 theme. Unfortunately, K2 wasn’t working properly, and I had to find a new template. I decided to use Tarski – it’s similar visually, yet different in admin mode. I’m still trying to decide if I like it or not.
I found a slew of really cool plugins that I’ve uploaded to my blog but am still exploring including a gallery feature, SEO plugin and more. Also, I’m still working on many of my pages, but, was starting to have blog withdrawals and just said screw it and decided to go live anyway. I’m going to be making some custom pages (a whole other learning curve) for my static ones – basically everything but my blog.
Today, I started teaching the last clay camp of the summer at the Art Students League of Denver before school starts here next week. In between teaching and preparing for class, I’ve been spending almost every waking moment getting my site back online. Unfortunately, I’ve done a lot of double work, but in the end, I learned how to do a lot!
If you’ve sent me an email in the past 3-4 days, and I haven’t responded, it’s because I inadvertently deleted the database for my email account. It’s back up, but I lost many addresses and emails.
I hope to catch up with my favorite blogs tomorrow,
~Cynthia
