Only the header image collage I made of the girls disappears. The current header image has remained for several days. Suffusion theme hates the banner image I created. Not sure if it was the size, the file format or what. Every night the file disappeared. (Gremlins in the server!) The current banner is Isis running. The picture was taken on one of her first times out in a big pasture after her colic...

Disappearing files
I loaded the site today and my banner image had disappeared. No idea why. The file can’t be found on the server. It’s very strange. I haven’t logged in or edited the site in a few days. Not sure what happened. I’ve replaced the collage with a backup header image. This is very strange. I wonder what might have caused this… If the current file disappears, then I’ll put in a trouble ticket...
Continue reading...New site layout
Best thing about WordPress is that site layout can be changed easily. Worst thing about WordPress is that site layout can be changed easily. You can lose hours getting sucked into looking at themes, tweaking newly installed themes, and then making new graphics for header images. I just switched to a theme called Suffusion. Lots of options without having to edit the CSS files (which I don’t mind doing, but it’s nice to...
Continue reading...New theme
Over the weekend I tried a new theme that had a section that looked like torn paper with pictures behind it. Unfortunately, the theme didn’t work in Internet Explorer. The pictures appeared on top of the torn paper images instead of behind. (Maybe it’s a layering issue in the CSS.) Any way, I loaded this theme and we’ll see how it works. I would like to customize a theme with horse pictures. Most...
Continue reading...New Theme, New WordPress
Every few months I find a new theme I like and change things around. This theme is called Lyrics, designed by ThemeRama. I like the layout, but I’m not crazy about some of the features. It would be nice to have a tab for each page (like archives and photography). I may try to tweak it and see what happens… I’ve also just updated to version 2.7 of WordPress. New sparkly. Yay. Seems...
Continue reading...Photogallery
WordPress 2.5 has known to be incompatible with some plugins. Unfortunately, this includes the Aniga plugin I used for my gallery. I read reviews on WordPress’ forums and plugin sites: NexGEN Gallery came highly recommended. Fully configurable, many options… sounded great. Now that my photo gallery has been moved over for several months, I’ve discovered one thing I really don’t like about NexGEN: comments aren’t enabled on the galleries. It’s a technical issue...

I had two problems with WordPress since I updated to 2.5.1 last week: the trackback field disappeared and no one could leave comments on the posts. The issue turned out to be an incomplete upload of the wp-admin/inludes folder. Once I re-uploaded the folder, the trackback field and comments-enabled options re-appeared on the Write New Post page. If you encounter any posts that do not have comments enabled, please let me know. I’ll...
Continue reading...Updating site…
The site is currently going some updates from WordPress 2.1.3 to 2.5. The photography page is offline while some compatibility issues with the gallery are sorted out. Hopefully it won’t take that long… but you know how it goes. Related Images:
