Technical difficulties. No need to stand by.

I don’t know what’s going on, but I’m having WordPress widget issues. Might be a corrupted database, but the bottom line is I lost a bunch of code and while I can find it and fix it I don’t have time to find and fix it. No one looks at the sidebars, anyway.

*crickets*

Pretty much everything I thought of posting here recently was something that was better off not posted here. I’ll have some photos and video from my visit to Vintage Vinyl for Record Store Day later. Got this and a few others while I was there! Also came across these awesome Twitter plates while browsing catalogs. [...]

New blog design

Updated the blog. Still have some tweaks to make and there might be a few glitches here and there because I decided to just go live with it and fix things as they pop up. Not sure what I’m going to do with the banannie.com landing page. I still like it, but really don’t need [...]

Working on a new look and feel (for the blog)

Obviously I don’t blog as much as I used to. I “microblog” on Twitter and send links and status updates to Facebook but I rarely write a full-out blog post. And I’m getting bored with this design. It’s been what? A year or since I changed it? So I’m working on a new design. I [...]

New theme

It’s been a year since I started this blog. Twelve months is a long time for me to go without a theme change! So I spent the weekend and any free time I’ve had over the past few days putting together a new one. I couldn’t part with the banana trash can photo, though, so [...]

NaBloPoMo again

I just registered for National Blog Posting Month (NaBloPoMo) again. I did this last year and surprised myself by posting each day in November 2006 (at my old blog.) It’s going to be harder this year, since I don’t blog nearly as often as I did thanks to Twitter, the banannielog, flickr, Facebook… but it [...]

I’m over here *waves madly*

September is INSANE! (thanks to YesbutNobutYes for posting all those Crazy Eddie commercials yesterday!) The kids are back to school so we all have to get into a more structured routine after hanging out all summer. The groups I volunteer with follow the school calendar so September is the busiest time. The kids’ activities are [...]

Comment and you shall be followed.

I just installed the DoFollow WordPress plugin. Giving my commenters the link-love they deserve!

Not quite ad-free

I have some ads in my sidebar. Just the basic Adsense ads, nothing I spent much time setting up. I’ve considered adding more, and it’s likely I will at some point, but I’m having trouble getting past my old ad-free mindset. I had a family site on Geocities back in the day (I love talking [...]

Tumbling

I’m still playing with the layout a bit. I’m going to add a couple plug-ins, but I don’t want to go plug-in crazy here. Twitter is still a little wonky so I’ve removed my latest tweets from the sidebar and added my Tumblr feed instead. I’ve got Twitter running through there (so it’s a bit [...]

My theme is done!

I’ve still got some tweaking to do, but after a day (wow, it’s nearly midnight!) of non-stop messing around, I have my design pretty close to what I wanted. It’s so easy for me to lose myself in projects like this. I don’t want to break for anything! I need to learn to break up [...]

the site design

For now, the anti-design.  Working feverishly behind the scenes to come up with something purty.

Step by step

I guess a good way to get started here would be to document everything, step by step. I’ll post on what works, and what doesn’t, which resources help, and which… don’t. I tend toward a more scattered work-flow, but it often doesn’t work all that well for me (surprise!) I’m going to try to stay [...]

Goal one

I have one big goal to reach by the end of next week (that is… by 4pm March 23.) I’ll have this site up and running with only minor tweaks possibly necessary (but it has to be good enough to go live, for perfectionist me that means anything the public will see has to be [...]
