Today I have been mainly breaking things and fixing them again in the backend of this site and some of my others, hence why I’m currently running a bare bones implementation of the basic Genesis framework.
So far today I have:
- Managed to break the free theme I was using, and finally decide to get a move on with redoing this site, so invested in full access to Studiopress themes – something I’ve meant to do for ages since starting out with their Metro theme.
- Managed to recover all of the posts from 140char.com before it became just a link blog, import them into a fresh WordPress install, and then export them to be merged into this site. They’re now in, safe and sound, although I think most of the images will take some work to sort out manually.
That’s in addition to client work, of course.
Things left to do:
- Update TheWayoftheWeb to the latest Mysql database as it doesn’t happen automatically on Godaddy, so I can’t upgrade to the latest WordPress until it’s sorted.
- Decide whether to use a Genesis child theme, or start customising this one.
- Re-categorise all 140char.com posts and permanently redirect the url to them for the small trickle of traffic still visiting it.
- Sort all the images again.
- Add all the usual widgets, ranking sites and other bumph which bloggers do to slow down their sites.
And then catch up on all my other sites, all my client work and collapse…
That’s the MYSQL upgrade done on the back end – hurrah…
I wondered why you were on this theme. I’m a fan of the Genesis framework – I use it for all of my blogs.
And it’s only been about two weeks of wondering before you found my post! I’ve been using their old Metro theme on a number of sites for a while, and had also been meaning to update this one to reflect my self-unemployed one-man agency a little better, so breaking the previous theme was a good excuse.
Just need time to actualy tweak and design it a little better. I have the ideas, but need to find a break between client work to put it all into practice…
