Everything That’s Old Is New Again
By Mitch Berg
Well, that was interesting.
Honest – it worked so well in rehearsal!
An attempt to update the site display code ended pretty disastrously last night. We backed up the whole site – which brought back our old template.
(Shrugs).
Part of the problem is that I haven’t updated WordPress (the content manager, the program that does all the display-fu for the blog) since I installed it after the, um, 2006 elections. Since there’ve been, er, three or four major releases since then, and there’s been no maintenance on this particular version in well over a year, it’s high time I updated things.
Which usually means things are going to break.
But if it’s raining this weekend, I’ll be updating the code, and then getting to work on perhaps updating the site’s “look and feel” for the first time since, ahem, 2003.

Stay away from that wheelbarrow, Jethro! You know you doesn’t understand machinery!

Much better font and more readable this way.

Stay away from that wheelbarrow
Heh.
Well, net-fu is one of those things, like carpentry, plumbing, auto mechanics or playing Guns ‘n Roses licks; if I’m practicing ’em, I do just fine; if I don’t for a year or two, I pretty much forget it all.
Let the record show it’s been three years.

It’s not showing the author (unless you’ve sacked Roosh and Doug).

Ooof. I see that. Blah.
Ok. Lots of work to do this weekend!

Kermit,
Did you like my piece today on killing the death penalty?

I think it should be sacked.
