Updgraded to WordPress 2.3.2

Saturday, January 12th, 2008

Updated the site to the latest version of Wordpress, WordPress 2.3.2 and updated a couple of the plugins to go with it. It seems to have gone well and only took the site off-line for about 30 minutes.

Reviews, Tech notes

Thursday, December 20th, 2007

Got the next batch of reviews converted over to Wordpress pages, also did find out that one of the DNS servers on my new host had not been properly updated, so occasionally people trying to get here (including me) would get sent to the old site, where I have deleted almost everything.  That has now been fixed so hopefully that problem will go away, although I did hit it once for about an hour today.

Change of Website Hosts and updated MySql and Php

Saturday, November 24th, 2007

I’ve just made the move to a different host for this Website, and that included moving to newer versions of MySql and PHP. Overall this is good news for me, the bad news is that some of the functions for parts of the site are temporarily broken and I’ll need to get them fixed up. Hopefully that will go quickly and everything will be up and running properly in a day or two.

Style Sheet updates

Wednesday, November 21st, 2007

As a first step to making some adjustments to the way this site looks, I did a cleanup and reorganization of the main style sheet that I’m using, which of course could lead to some strange things occurring. I think I did manage to fix the odd problem with the side menu where it would display in slightly different fonts depending which page you were on.

If anyone does notice anything really strange, or just has any suggestions on improvements that can be made, please add a comment and I’ll see what I can do.

Banners

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007

Finally added Banners to the site, using the AdRotator plugin, so, if you have a site related to ICE games and have a banner available, let me know and I’ll get it in the rotation.

Site Update

Friday, March 23rd, 2007

Updated to the newest version of WordPress. Overall it went okay, had a couple issues with one of the plugins that I updated, but turned out I had included an extra directory when I uploaded it, which seemed to confuse things. Once I fixed that, things seemed to be okay. If you notice anything that doesn’t seem to be working right, particularly links that seem broken, please let me know.

Site Update

Friday, March 23rd, 2007

Updated to the newest version of WordPress. Overall it went okay except I also updated the plugins and the one that allows me to do “includes” to other php pages seems to be malfunctioning. Need to do some testing to see if it can be repaired, in the mean time, several pages will not be available

Technical Difficulties

Monday, January 29th, 2007

My ISP is having some technical difficulties which will hopefully be resolved soon, but is causing parts of the site to be unavailable on and off. If the side menus only have a couple of entries showing, then the problem is occuring again and you’ll probably need to try again in about 30 minutes. Sorry for the inconvienience

Trying the new theme again.

Tuesday, August 8th, 2006

It’s amazing what one stray “float: left” in your style.css can do to your pages. Got rid of that and the new Theme works much better, so I’ve reactivated it.

Reverted back to previous theme

Tuesday, August 8th, 2006

Reverted back to using the Journalized theme as the Sidebar menu doesn’t show up in Explorer in the new theme, although it works fine in Mozilla and Firefox.
