  • Instagram

    Attempting to coordinate an Instagram link from this site, assuming I can get the plugins to function properly. This would provide another avenue to follow and participate, and allow me to start utilizing the alternate site. Still not sure how exactly it will play into my current strategies, but Instagram at least helps me share…

  • Posting challenges

    It may have been noticed (it has been by me), that my content, for what its worth, has been a bit more spotty recently. I can blame it on numerous reasons – the holidays, work, science fair, etc – but in truth it is mainly due to distractions in the form of video games. Over…

  • Updated Email functionality

    As part of my recent work on the website, I have also overhauled the email functionality of the site.  WordPress is deployed with a default php based email, which is functional, but (from my digging) unreliable.  In my case, I suspect it has failed entirely, since I rarely receive emails from the website any longer. …

  • SEO optimization

    I have been attempting to work my way thru the confusing world of Search Engine Optimization (SEO).  Basically, when you have a website, Google, Bing, Yahoo and other search engines use scripts, programs, and robots to scan the site and catalog the content.  Based on their results, your site may or may not show up…

  • Lots of comments, lots of spam

    Going to be enjoying the holidays over the next couple of weeks with the family, so likely my posting updates will be a bit more random. Have been reviewing the past several weeks worth of content, and although I have been getting lots of comments, none of them thus far have been of any value. …

  • Podcasting is complicated

    As I dig further into podcasting, what appeared to be a simpler solution is turning out to be a bit more complex.  Yes, the processing of the media files is easier and smaller – it is audio only instead of video – but the process by which to post and distribute is more complex by…

  • Ark server challenges

    I was attempting to configure a custom Ark server for my son, who is eager to try some of the numerous Admin codes, but unfortunately it was overloading my minimal webserver, and preventing WordPress from responding.  As a result, you may have noticed a lot of lag over the last couple of days, or pages…
