0xDECAFBAD - Tag: redesign2011-11-16T16:29:50+00:00l.m.orchard@pobox.comRe-introducing nightly link posts2006-01-20T17:19:57+00:00http://decafbad.com/blog/2006/01/20/re-introducing-nightly-link-posts<p>It feels all old-school like my first days of posting link blog entries, but I've <a href="http://theory.isthereason.com/?p=499">added a "thingy" over at del.icio.us</a> to schedule nightly posts from my day's bookmarking activity. I was feeling a bit of a lack here, since I completely detached my links from the site after <a href="http://decafbad.com/blog/2005/09/12/redesigninprogress">the reboot this past fall</a>. So, I hope you don't mind the new daily links—and if you do, tough. They're good for you. Like roughage.</p>

Redesign in progress (or, no need to adjust your set)2005-09-13T03:51:56+00:00http://decafbad.com/blog/2005/09/13/redesigninprogress<p>Hi there. If things around here are looking or acting a bit wonky, it's because I'm in the middle of my belated site overhaul I meant to do back in May. It was preempted by <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/customer-reviews/0764597582/">the book</a>, something about which I want to gush in detail very shortly.</p>
<p>In between bouts of actually being busy, I've been yak shaving around the idea of executing this overhaul--making lists, researching sites I like, installing WordPress on my laptop. Finally, after a bit of a weekend sprint during which I mangled the default theme a bit to my liking and installed a few plugins, I figured that I'd just throw the switch tonight and deal with the fallout as it arrives.</p>
<p>For now, it's bedtime. But, just for The Girl, here's me with the new book!</p>

<div class="content">Matt: Good question! I'm taking baby steps around here, so for now the links section is stale. My live links can be seen on del.icio.us here:
http://del.icio.us/deusx
Before the weekend's out, though, I'm hoping to use an importer to pull my links into a category on this blog and try to reconstruct something of some semblance to the old links section.</div>

<div class="content">Thought I point it out ... your permalinks have changed slightly, for example from http://decafbad.com/blog/2005/07/18/ajax_testing_and_logging
to
http://www.decafbad.com/blog/2005/07/18/ajax-testing-and-logging
This is especially "challenging" because you simply shout "Go away" on decafbad.com instead of redirecting to decafbad.com/blog which seems like a natural alternative.</div>

<div class="content">Yup, turns out it was a ServerName with a www where I didn't want one to be. I *had* actually gone through the trouble to hack WordPress to replace underscores with dashes when looking up posts from permalinks until I'd whipped up a better mod_rewrite solution...</div>
