I use an extension for WordPress (plugin) called Subscribe2 that automatically sends e-mails of the posts written, when they are published. However, since I upgraded to version 2.7 of WordPress, the plugin has been sending the HTML e-mail version with the background image of the blog. That would not be so bad, except the background [...]

Ahhh, Internet Explorer 6. The web browser that is not a browser. After having worked on the design of this blog, and getting it correct in IE6, I (wrongfully) assumed that the alignment and fit of the content and sidebar would stay correct. I finished working the last few things and checked it with Firefox and [...]

I finally got around to reworking a new theme for the blog that is more in line with the design of the rest of the website. There are still a couple of tweaks to accomplish, but I am largely done with the redesign. This theme is also more accessible to those folks who do not have [...]

I started designing (I’ll use the term loosely here) web pages about four years ago. I launched the Reproach of Men site a little over three years ago after tinkering with HTML code [...]

Sometimes, “Default” is really the only way to really make something work. Since I use Wordpress, and it is “free” all the responsibility for making sure it works correctly falls upon my shoulders. I must do all the testing, all the modifications, and if I mess it up, then I have no one to blame [...]

I have had to take a slight hiatus due to security concerns over this blog. I have a non-standard install and that doesn’t help any at all in trying to secure things. However, in checking the normal security items, the blog seems pretty secure. Nonetheless, someone created some strange links to posts that I could [...]

The formatting of the hymns have been seriously upgraded and changed. The layout is now fixed-width even for standards compliant browsers as this particular type of document seems to do best in a fixed-width layout. You can access any one of the hymns currently on the website through the Hymns and Music page. Or, you can [...]

This is one of those very rare times I actually use exclamation points. Well, it was not the fun thing to do. However, according to the release notes the upgrade would fix a critical security flaw and various other issues. Okay. I guess I’d better do it — and soon. Should I mention that disasters always seem [...]
