  • Revised webserver

    Another week, another server migration. This time, I did an intentional migration of the webserver. Previously, my WordPress installation was running on a virtual machine on one of my main systems. This was working fine until my recent eCommerce site addon, establishing my Quartermaster. At that point, the extra database and processing load apparently was…

  • Unexpected refresh

    Unexpected refresh

    So I was tinkering around with setting up an e-commerce site, to duplicate my Etsy presence on this dedicated site instead. Unfortunately, although the installations themselves worked fine, it ended up wiping out my customized templates and themes. As such, you will no doubt notice a graphics overhaul on the site. I think I got…

  • ActivityPub update

    ActivityPub update

    My thanks to @kenSwinson@indieweb.social for their help and troubleshooting with ActivityPub integration into WordPress (visit their website at https://www.kenswinson.com/). Although I thought it was a simple matter of loading a plugin, it turned out to be a little bit more complex. Technical process really is that simple – just load the plugin and configure. However,…

  • Mastodon Federation

    Utilizing the ActivityPub addon for WordPress, my website is now officially federated directly. This means several things: This should be a bit cleaner, and hopefully still just as functional. If you have interest and willingness to follow the website, feel free to look us up at (Halfling13@www.halfling13.com) and join in the conversation. Although I may…

    More tweaks

    Continued to work on the website and mastodon server but managed some breakthroughs late last week. My challenge was self-hosting both sites, but from a single internal internet connection. This is much more challenging than it would appear, since there are two such services and only a single connection. The solution, after a bit of…

  • Website changes

    Website changes

    Related to the ongoing website changes, I have made a few fundamental changes to the website itself. Over the last many years, while this site has operated, I have only had myself as a registered member, which is fine, there really isn’t much benefit to anyone to actually register. However, I have had several hundred…

  • Blog appearance

    Still not happy with the overall appearance and layout of the theme of the site, so you will likely see a few changes happening over the next few weeks when I have time to research. If you have a suggestion for a theme, let me know. Thus far, everything feels either overly complex, far too…

  • Fixing Pretty Permalinks not working

    Solved another problem with the new WordPress implementation – permalinks are now functional again. Everything I found only kept pointing me to reset the .htaccess file, which functionally was irrelevant (but likely viable in a different case. For my issue, the specific problem was that pretty permalinks was broken, but basic permalinks worked fine. The…
