A while back, I said I was making progress on migrating this blog to Azure. In case you care, I didn’t. I was really interested in doing so for a little while, but got busy on other things, and … lost interest. I am interested again, so maybe this time I will make it. The… Continue reading Still not there

Not quite yet…
So the other day I said that I was moving this blog to Azure. I have tinkered with that, and am actually making a little progress. (This happens when you put little effort/time into something). I decided to bring it back up where it was in order to do an easier transfer of the image… Continue reading Not quite yet…
Migrating to Azure
So, at the time of this writing, my blog is down. If you are reading this, then I must have succeeded in migrating it to Azure for hosting.

Open Live Writer
Since it first came out, I have been a fan of what was “Windows Live Writer”.

WordPress speed – take 2
So after I followed Patrick’s advice, it seemed like we had everything working better(?) but then again, it was only faster sometimes… After doing some tinkering and comparing between 4 different people, 2 of us with slow performance and 2 with normal performance, I stumbled on the answer… Patrick and I both had the “wassup”… Continue reading WordPress speed – take 2
Making a Header
In an effort to encourage my wife to share the site we created for keeping up with our family, I was trying to get a good picture to use as the banner in the WordPress theme that we are using. I had a good picture, but since it doesn’t auto scale… I ended up using… Continue reading Making a Header
Personal websites
There are a lot of people who have personal websites that they use to keep track of family. I have seen a few different types, but it seems that most of them are setup to be mostly a replacement for the photo albums that were always laying around especially at my grand parents house. I… Continue reading Personal websites
