I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how to better use this web site. The main page here hasn’t turned out to be as dynamic as I’d hoped. Sure, there are a lot of links, and you can sift through a lot of information quickly, but for a lot of people it all sort of […]

These are posts about the things that were broken and what I’m doing to fix them.

Genealogy Database Online
This is just a quick mention that the Wicasta’s Genealogy database is back online. I thought I should get it up as soon as possible, since it’s traditionally been one of the most heavily trafficked areas of the web site. My obsession with genealogy had begun to ebb, so I don’t maintain the database as […]

Art Section Upgraded
The art section has been converted to a blog format. The general idea is simply to make the collection easier to browse through. I liked the gallery format that I had, but I was about the only one. Most people favored thumbnails and proof-sheet sort-of format, which the gallery just couldn’t provide. Of course, now […]

Photography Section Upgraded
I’ve finally upgraded the photography section, changing it from a static image gallery to a more dynamic photo blog. I’m hoping this will give me more incentive to get my old photos online. I haven’t decided yet if I’m going to be posting all sorts of images, such as family photos and personal images, or […]

Media Collection Updated
I’ve just uploaded the web pages for the Audio section of the Media Archive. Basically, this means I’ve cataloged all of my albums, compact discs, cassettes, and various other formats. That translates to a lot of work. But it’s something that I’ve wanted to do for a long, long time. It keeps in with the […]

Settled … For The Most Part
I’m settled for the most part. It’ll take some time to get everything sorted out and back up to speed, but all in all the move was relatively painless. The only thing that needs immediate attention is the artwork gallery. I didn’t have a way to back up my databases, so I’m going to have […]

Poetry Section Updated
The Poetry section has been updated. Finally! I’d been putting it off because I dreaded coding the almost 100 web pages it’d take to completely redesign the section. But I got it done. I have to admit that I’m thrilled. Compared to the new design, the old design was draconian. All business and no play. […]

New WordPress Theme
Just tinkering, checking out the new blog theme. I edited the existing blog theme because I liked its functionality, but I wanted it to match the overall web site. I was going to radically the change the header, but in the end I decided to just use an old photograph I’d taken in the Kings […]

Hammering Away
I’ve been hammering away at the Music section, trying to get those pages re-designed and coded. I didn’t think I was really getting anywhere until it occurred to me that I had created over 200 images for that section. Wow. I have been busy. Here I was thinking I was a slack-ass. It’s been a […]
