This Blog

Sunday I realized I have a bug in my blog layout. The opening page is not rendering correctly.

Now I’ve spent the day trying to get Dreamweaver CS5.5 to work with WordPress. It is supposed to handle dynamically linked files. It sort of does. But, once I decided it wasn’t just me doing it wrong, I found it is a known problem with DW CS5.5. So, its not just Linden Lab’s programmers that mess up.

I had to revert back to the more manual process of editing the site with CS3.

The mistake I made in the layout is annoyingly difficult to correct. Too many things have to change. However, the home and single article pages have been rebuilt and should work. There are a few more pages to do. I’ll get to those in the next day or two.

Well… it’s mostly done. Still a few things to fix up. I’m hoping to have everything done by Monday.

Let me know if you find something not working or something that looks funny.

🙂

I’ll be away for the next 3 or 4 weeks. I won’t be updating the blog during that time. I expect to be back in October.

I’ve had some problems getting back on the Internet. I tried to use AT&T DSL. But, I’m out on the end of the line and service is bad. About 500kb/sec on a supposed 1.5mb/sec connection. Plus a high packet loss rate (25% to over 200% – multiple retries failing can drive the rate over 100%). Pings would hit 7,000+ms. Imagine pressing

I have cable now and have a 10mb/sec connection that gives me a measured 6mb/sec. Packet loss is much better, 0% to 20% and mostly 0%.
