Go Hugo!
A few years back, this website ran on WordPress. I genuinely like WordPress, not just for blogging but also for some general (simple) content needs. What I don’t like about WordPress? The size of the server …

Evolution of my Website
The Wayback Machine and I go … well, way back. It’s got versions of my website dating back 20 years (as of February 2022, anyway) and through more than a few variations on the theme. I bought sowrey.org a …
Apologies for the comments
Hi there readers! Sorry about the closed comments on my blog. I really have no idea why they decided to close on their own — I leave the comments open for a reason. It’s rather odd. At any rate, they’re open again, so …

My WordPress pet peeve
I have a pet peeve with WordPress. (Actually, I have a few, but we’ll get to the rest later.) This one, I’ll admit, is limited to those of us who develop with WordPress. In short, WordPress hard-codes domains in its …
WordPress 2.8 acting weird?
I just finished a rather arduous upgrade from WordPress 2.7.1 to WordPress 2.8 (arduous only because I had to do a massive migration to get rid of a lot of old kruft in my previous WP install). But it’s acting really …

First crack at my own theme
After years of using other people’s themes — some very good and some that left a bad taste in my mouth — I decided it’s high time to get off my arse and build my own. Especially after seeing Schiller’s most recent …

Holy upgrades, Batman!
I saw an interesting Tweet this morning from Mathew Ingram, a columnist for the Globe and Mail. He had just used the WordPress Automatic Upgrade plugin to update his install to version 2.7. Being a couple versions behind …
Retraction - WordPress 2.6.2 did not break my site
I have to chalk this one up to network oddities, which is about the only thing I can think of. Everything seems fine now, and I’m humming away as usual. Still, odd.
WordPress 2.6.2 broke my blog
Gah. Did the upgrade. Images busted. Things broken. Admin panel might be toast. Gonna be a bit weird for a while. Sorry, folks.
Web 2.0 Expo - Friday Keynote
Maybe it’s just me, but running keynotes every single day of a conference seems really silly, and waters down the value of the concept of a keynote. But I digress. Either way, this morning features Tim O’Reilly (again), …
WordPress 2.5 + K2 RC4 = Bad News
Le sigh. I had this problem [[WordPress 2.2.1 broke my site!|when I updated my WordPress to 2.2.1]]: WordPress and K2 stopped talking. Sort of like a bad relationship. Given, the two products are made by entirely …
A little housecleaning
Those of you reading my RSS feeds have probably noticed a wad of older articles and photo pages showing up lately. Not really a lot of new stuff. No, my blog ain’t broken — I’m just tidying up a bit. Over the last year, …
The new K2 ain't much better...
To add to my existing woes, I thought I might be “smart” and update to the new K2 to try and fix some of the issues that the new WordPress brought down upon me. At least the annoying bug with the WordPress …
WordPress 2.2.1 broke my site!
Nurtz. This doesn’t happen often, and until now hasn’t happened at all. But the most recent upgrade of WordPress has officially broken my site. My biggest problem is that I’m using the K2 package, which doesn’t work …
Askimet - The best WordPress plugin ever!
How much do I have to give praise to Askimet? This little plugin has allowed me to go back to using WordPress without the fear of my database being choked up with a million spam comments. Back when I was using WordPress …
