Reflections of parents of not-so-young-kids-anymore
A realization dawned while working on the blog yesterday to make it fully https compliant. The number of php code tweaks I’d made in the last year had basically somewhat broken the theme’s baseline that it no longer correctly recognized
My host server sent an advisory several days ago informing of Google’s decision to mark non-HTTPS websites as “not secure”. So, as host server providers, they were offering free SSL for their domain users. There’s nothing on our web site
Web site maintenance has certainly come a long way. There weren’t many sophisticated web site code creation tools available when our blog here went online 20 years ago. So, I wrote HTML code for every page using text editor tools

Continuation of my earlier post.:) The earlier incarnations of Windows kept their application settings in easily configurable .INI files, but have now packed them into a registry file. Most users don’t ever peak into the registry since it’s a cryptic
Yahoo just doesn’t agree with WordPress. This is my second attempt at upgrading WordPress, and bleh – things just didn’t want to work properly anymore. The database comprising nearly 380 posts, hundreds of comments etc. didn’t successfully migrate along, and
Visitors to the site may have noticed the frequent visual changes to our blog over the several days. Yep, that’s all me. Since I was done recovering whatever posts I could, I figured I might as well redo the theme
Our blog met with a bit of a disaster this afternoon. The entire blog database was lost from a terrific crash caused (apparently) by plug-in compatibility issues. I’m right now in the midst of piecing together what used to be
