So Far, So Faraway

After several days of the hosting issues, we're done and the blog lives live where it ought to, but in the conversion, I've lost connections to many of the photos and I can't get the JS Shadowbox to work. This was a snap the last time around!

Drats.

I've got the Flying Wheels Century tomorrow and a big party on Sunday, so all of the sudden it feels like Monday night might be the earliest I've got a decent, working web site up.

Wordpress conversion: 80% happiness. 20% frustration.

Sneak Peak: New Site on Friday?

While the conversion is going pretty good and I'm just trying to get a handle on what will stay old code vs new code for galleries, what's not going so great is the hosting.

And I just figured out yesterday after paying for years that I really could have ONE premium hosting account with many domains under it (one log-in/one-admin) instead of several cheap hosting domains everywhere. That adds up.

I am a hosting dolt.

Change is Gonna Come...

After years of thinking about it, I'm finally playing with a new platform for blogging.

While I haven't quite got all the kinks out of it, it's working better than the SoupSwap.com blog conversion I did six months ago. And that THRILLED me.

Shiny. Faster. Easier. The New and Improved "Bike Nerd" blog is totally going to rule, and for the few folks that have seen the test site it gets a solid "Wow!"

Here's one thing: It's not going to be "Bike Nerd".

Meaning that bikenerd.com and bikenerd.org should both be available sometime soon...Drop me a line if that interests you.

I'm still sorting out some files on the new blog...but keep your eyes open for the next post if you stop in here now and again.

Switching this week...

Treasure Trove

Well, not quite.

I've always wanted to find old papers between the walls of a house while remodeling; all the better if that old paper happens to be cold cash currency.

Here's a scrap I found while ripping apart the rotting porch.

It's a classified section of a Seattle paper from 1951, primarily truck or heavy equipment listings. There's quite few ads seeking older model (1940-41) cars for cash. Phone numbers in the old style. Address quaintly downtown, considering the major car lots now are all out in Renton or Puyallup.
