  • Spring cleaning needed

    I updated PHP on my website and it broke a few things, primarily the search and sidebar widgets. Sorry about that. Anyone got any theme recommendations? In 2017, I made some modifications to “Responsive II” from Cyberchimps.com, but it’s not agreeing with PHP 8 now.

  • Spring cleaning a website

    I’ve spent some time studying Zepfanman.com reports from Google Analytics, a tool I’ve been using for the past year. Without redesigning the site, I’ve taken cues from the reports to update some old posts and make the site load a little faster. You might call it spring cleaning.

  • Upgrading to 2.8 today

    The “Upgrade Automatically” button isn’t getting any further than “Downloading update from http://wordpress.org/wordpress-2.8.zip,” so I’m performing my first WordPress update today, the long way. Hopefully won’t be down long, say 11:30am-12:30pm CST. Also plan on helping out my friend, Natty, this afternoon. He currently has his site on WordPress.com which has half the functionality as…
