Old posts

// July 11th, 2007 // No Comments » // Website

I filled it up pretty quickly!

With 206 previous blog entries spanning 4 years I’ve not really had the time to import my old stuff properly. Most things are there but what has happened is

  • Posts from before I had a password system have all been passworded, just in case something is in there that shouldn’t
  • Posts that have apostrophes in them have database protection in them. I’ve will turn into I\’ve. I could fix this, but I don’t really want to spend the time on it
  • Posts that have photographs in them now don’t
  • Posts that are password protected will have a password box appear instead of the text

The password is one word now. If the username was mummy and the password was daddy then the new one word password would be mummydaddy. No spaces, no hyphens, just one word.

I’ll make a ‘page’ soon (a page is one of the black tabs at the top) called ‘passwords’ that will recap this. I’m sure it won’t be very find-able when it isn’t on the top.

Change of Scenery

I’ve been thinking about how to make my site easier to manage and I’m wondering if this is the answer.

Most of my website is the blog. Anything that isn’t the blog are my photographs. So the logical answer seems to be to have a blog, and then have a photos site.

So I’ve got myself a flickr pro account and have started to upload my photographs there. You can see what I have up so far at my Flickr page.

Once the photos are out of the way with I shall try and work out a way of importing my old blog posts into this system and to have a nice way of linking to the flickr page.

One thing that may have to change is the way private blog and photo posts work. You may have to have an account on this site and flickr to see the (very few) personal ones. This site allows me to hide posts, Flickr has more options and can limit photos to friends, family, either or.

More news soon. Hopefully more than once a year!
