Wax Wombat Header Image

A friend was creating a new blog and deciding on a theme and header image. He had come up with a doodle that he liked but it wasn’t translating quite right when he recreated it digitally.

Needing a break from technical work, I decided to pull out my drawing tablet and give it a go just for fun. He liked it so much that I cleaned up the lines and he’s using it as his header now!

Go check it out. It’s so cute that I want to giggle every time I stop by his site.

Now if only I could finish the other logos that I’ve promised to others…

More Topics & Pages

The majority of my updates lately have been under this “News” category because I’ve been posting updates as I’m making progress on my redesign. I predominantly use Twitter for my regular journal/blog-like quick updates – but anything longer than that goes under the “Journal” category. What about everything else?

I have a couple of other categories that I use for writing up technical How-Tos and reviewing concerts, computer hardware/software, etc. Check the top navigation for a quick direct link to that page. Otherwise, browse each category via the Archvies page.

As I have time I will also be adding a “Links” page. Let me know if you’d like to be included or if I have an out of date link for you.

Thanks!

Registration & Comments Enabled!

Captcha has been fixed and is required for new user registrations and commenting without an account. I figured that not everyone’s going to want to register for yet another account somewhere if they want to just post a single comment, so I allowed unregistered users to add comments. If the spam gets too much (which it shouldn’t with the captcha) I will disable that again.

Enjoy!

Enabling User Registration

I’m going to enable new user registration. Actually, I’ve already enabled it – but there appears to be an issue with the captcha that I need to work out before anyone can actually signup and post comments.

Continued Progress

More progress has been made. There’s more functionality, and a few things have been fixed & cleaned up. The Archives page is readable, and there’s now both a functional “Journal” & “About” page. There are still bugs on my ToDo list though.

Still to do: Fix the weird horizontal scrolling; Fix the pagination; Clean up the CSS & the comment posting forms, etc.; Add a captcha solution & enable anyone to post comments.
