Sometimes things break.<\/p>\n
Like the blog. Sometimes it breaks. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
To make a long story short, I’d decided before the upgrade to WordPress 2.3<\/a> that I’d wanted to put up a new layout scheme for the blog. I’d found exactly<\/i> what I wanted. It looked clean. It looked modern. It looked super spiffy.<\/p>\n But because WordPress 2.3 was coming — and that meant tags — I didn’t want to install a new theme and then not have it work. So I decided, instead, to install a different theme entirely<\/a>, something that was, under the hood, close to the WordPress default, and learn from that, when 2.3 dropped, what new changes needed to be made to code.<\/p>\n (Yes, this is pointlessly geeky. Bear with me.)<\/p>\n Well, once I had WordPress 2.3 up and running for several days, I pulled out the theme I really wanted, the super spiffy theme, and made the necessary changes to the code.<\/p>\n I let it run for eighteen hours. Then I switched back to the Stonehenge look.<\/p>\n What was the problem? Well, the new theme was a bit more graphics intensive. Also, the new theme was heavy on the Jscript. Essentially, it loaded more slowly. Smileys looked terrible. In general, it looked fantastic, but it wasn’t right<\/i>. Mainly, it was the heavier server load that bugged me.<\/p>\n But in switching back, something broke.<\/p>\n Stats weren’t being recorded properly. The comment form had disappeared. These were not<\/i> good things.<\/p>\n Fortunately, I was able to fix them today. It was, however, mildly annoying.<\/p>\n I do<\/i> want to make some sort of change, though. I’m just never<\/i> happy with the way the website looks.<\/p>\n *sigh*<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sometimes things break. Like the blog.
