Dragons byte

Just trying to get a daily post in….. hopefully I’ll get some current stuff up soon.

Between DigiKam (Linux photo organizer), and WordPress 2.0, it is certainly a lot easier to get a picture prepped and uploaded. No guarantees that the carbon based lifeform won’t mess things up and miss some days though.

Time for me to start getting things in order around here. A few things have happened – my host (fuzzymonkey.net) upgraded the server I’m hosted on, and I made a mistake setting up the DNS address which knocked out the site for a couple of days. Hopefully I’ve got everything fixed on that front.

I decided to make two changes.

1) Change the location of the blog. The blog was previously at www.dragonsbyte.ca. Since I figure on eventually having books for sale listed, and potentially other stuff going on as well, it seemed like a good idea to move it to it’s own location. From now on, you can reach it at blog.dragonsbyte.ca.

2) Upgrade to WordPress 2.0. I noticed the release announcement, and figured as long as I was upgrading to a beta version, I should put it into a new directory, which led to change 1) in part. Since I didn’t upgrade the current blog, both are currently active. I’ll be working on getting all the old info moved over at some point.

Now I just need to see what all the changes actually are for 2.0. It’s looking pretty slick so far… with any luck there are things to make it easier to post a picture a day. I know there ar

e ways to post via e-mail, I just need to configure it. Oh, and there is already a upload image
option in the post entry area. Guess I need to add one….

WOW!!!! Upload the picture, drag and drop into the post… set the size, link, etc… very cool. It even looks like it keeps track of all the pictures you have uploaded and lets you use them whenever you want.
