I have fallen for the recommendations, and bought and installed the Headway Theme Finally, got it working too. It is easy, everything is a snap, except when you have want to make some really “fancy” thing on your site – like the Video Posts on the right -, then it’s php coding. Or when it…

Moving, moving – but not because I wanted to
What can I say. I am all for supporting the local service providers, but there are moments when you simply can not let their complete lack of professionalism take you down. First I moved my sites physicaly to a US hosting company, slicehost, simply because with the Hungarian hosting company it took 3 phones and…
Change of layouts
Finally, after a couple months of undecisiveness, and constant changing of layouts and themes, and logos and headers, and… well you know,the usual stuff, called creative process. So, finally the layout of the site has changed, at least the main page. I have to do something for the rest of September, no? Of course there…
A bit of a setback…
Honestly, I don’t know what happened, but the server stopped accepting my password. And the root password. After trying for a few hours, I finally gave up and reinstalled the whole thing. Now, all is back, unfortunately the Thumb on the Lens is totally gone – yes, I know, but I swear I thought it…
Disqus this thing here…
I have to admit first I was a bit reserved about Disqus. Letting go of my comments, placing them somewhere else felt a bit weird. I have to admit, that since then I totally came to like it, especially since I experience how helpful people are at Disqus. I just wrote them that I broke…
Some small difficulties
The changing of the blog URL “broke” the Disqus comments. They are not gone, it’s just they don’t link to the post anymore – still pointing to the old URL – so they don’t show up on the blog, except for the sidebar widget. I tried to find the solution, but everyone who had the…
Cleaning, painting, rebuilding
It seems that May and June is all about cleaning and rebuilding. The smaller part of it is that I totally revamped my site – I think it was hard to miss -, and while it’s not finished, the general conception is clearly worked out. All that remains is to to tweak the layouts, the…
Fresh painting for the summer
Sitting in Bulgaria, and I just checked amazon.com, wondering when my books will arrive. I ordered three new books on webdesign – I have none so far -, and I hope they will help with building my site the way I want it, and as a side effect learning how to make good and usable…
Painting the Air
Ok, I know, I am a bit late to the party, but here we go. I tried Spaz, then I tried Twhirl which I really like, and now I try AlertThingy, because I like the whole Friendfeed concept, I am a bit bored with signing up to another new,revolutionary service, and then logging into each…
Mayday, mayday, server’s down, I repeat, server’s down…
So, on a nice sunny Sunday – the 30th of March – the server hosting my blog decided that it was time to give up on life. Or something like that. I am not really sure what happened, but it was down for about 70 hours until it was removed. Then, I had to get…
