Welcome to my new installation of WordPress (2.5.1), hosted at FatCow (along with the rest of my website)! I am super-psyched to have this up and running. It didn’t actually take all that long, aside from the problems I had a) properly updating from 2.3 (which is FatCow’s current 1-click installation option) b) importing posts & comments without breaking the template (damn corrupted drafts) and c) hacking around in the php to update the images in the header. .
The current theme is Upsilon, written by Tim Hyde of Living Open Source. It features a header that runs SmoothGallery, a nifty slideshow tool I had not previously heard of. The php running the slideshow was pretty easy to deal with once I figured out what I was looking at (though there is definitely at least one weird quirk). I came across this theme trolling through the WP theme gallery to find something interesting (”someday” I will go ahead and blend the blog right in with the rest of my site, haha). Interestingly, the theme is one of many written by Tim with the goal of providing good-looking, highly functional themes for churches & other faith communities to use on their blogs. (He’s an IT-guy-turned-minister.) That’s a pretty cool project.
Anyway, you’re going to need to update your RSS feed. I’m sure I could go through some acrobatics to make it so you don’t have to do so, but I think you can handle it. Click on the RSS button in your address bar, use the link in the Admin portion of the sidebar, or scroll way the heck down to the bottom for another RSS link.
