The snow continues to fall. I spent part of the day working on PHP and CSS code for the website. I have the first segment of the design coded and the graphics made. I’ve done a test to make sure the code works, and it does. It looks like I want it to look. I’mContinue reading “On Afternoon Coding”

On Design Decisions
The new issue of The Writer came in the mail a few days ago. It’s been sitting, sadly neglected, on a pile of magazines atop the dresser ever since, and this morning I put it in my briefcase to read on the train. As I read through the magazine, a long-dormant idea resurfaced. I keepContinue reading “On Design Decisions”
On October’s Web Stats
Before we start looking forward to November, let’s take a look back at October and what people wanted to know from allyngibson.net. 🙂 First up, I had 10,925 distinct visitors for the month.

On Formatting for the iPhone
Mobile devices, capable of browsing the Internet, are becoming more and more commonplace, and to make it easier for people on a mobile device, like an iPhone, I’ve had a mobile plugin for WordPress in my install, the WordPress Mobile Edition plugin, to reformat the blog into something mobile friendly. Earlier in the week, IContinue reading “On Formatting for the iPhone”
On Website Fun
I have no idea what someone visiting my website this afternoon might have seen. I needed to upgrade WordPress. When WordPress 2.8 dropped, I uploaded the files, and found my Dashboard (that’s the admin panels I see when I blog) completely trashed. WordPress 2.8, in its initial release, was a total freaking memory hog, andContinue reading “On Website Fun”

On New Visitors and the Like
For reasons that pass beyond my understanding, I’ve recently seen a 250% increase in the traffic to my website. I’m looking at my own behavior, as regards the website, in the past two or three weeks. I changed the website theme. I’ve been posting less. Could these be reasons? One’s choice of website layout canContinue reading “On New Visitors and the Like”
On a Different Look
After vowing that I would not redesign my website, I’ve gone and redesigned my website. More, after never having paid for a theme — because there’s a veritable wealth of free WordPress themes out there — I bought a premium theme. Well, technically, I joined the Elegant Themes theme club, which gave me access toContinue reading “On a Different Look”
On the End to an Era
Last week was a rough week at the office. Publications went to press, additional projects surfaced like sharks, and by the time Friday rolled around I was well and truly fried. As were many of the rest of us in the department. To take my mind off work, I thought about redesigning my website. Long-timeContinue reading “On the End to an Era”
