Blog Yellek

Well the blog is finally back. Sorry that it took so long. Somehow my Wordpress database was corrupted and I had to restore from backups. The last post was on September 29 but it appears that the 1st of October backup didn’t run so I opted to go back to a September 12 restore just to make sure everything was running OK. I have the text of the posts from the last half of September so I will progressively restore those posts over the next few days as I get time.

Thanks again for your patience and I hope to be blogging more often now the site is back up.

Just a warning that this site will be offline for about 4 hours starting at Midday wherever the server is (in the US somewhere so about 4am Australian Time) whilst they move the site to a new server.

I’ve added a Favorite Posts link over on the right so you can find the posts that I consider some of my better writing from the archives.

I added little icons to the categories so that the feeds were easier to get to. The icon is the one that both Firefox and Internet Explorer 7 have standardised on for feeds. I’ve also added a Bloglines subscribe link to have updates for the whole site automatically added to Bloglines.

This post marks the end of the trial period on this site and announces that the blog here is open for business. I have put redirects on the old site to here so if you have made the journey over, welcome. Have a look around and tell me what you think. I’m still working on a few areas so stay tuned for more updates on the new platform.

Placeholder post. I’m working on getting this site up and running. Until then check out http://users.on.net/yellek

No the theme isn’t pretty. I’m porting the old one to the new site but I’m lerning a lot about PHP and CSS as I do it . Who knows I might even release it if it is good enough.

I finally got around to adding comments to my site. These are open to anyone at present so have fun. If I need to restrict them later I will. Now you can let me know what you think of my posts so don’t be shy!

I finally got around to changing my template, I hope you like it.

This morning as I was out walking and praying I was thinking about this website (OK so I was having trouble staying focussed momentarily) and how drab it looked compared to some others I had seen. I was thinking about a color palette to use in maybe redesigning it a bit when I looked up at the sky and beheld the beauty of the sun and the clouds above me. Everything was in shades of cream and silver and grey in nearly infinite variations. I immediately thought (maybe this was God’s way of getting me focussed again) wow, what a great set of colors. I then realised that God redesigns the color scheme of the sunrise every day for our enjoyment, better than any web designer. Maybe I will get around to updating things around here and maybe not but I know my Father in heaven loves me enough to provide beauty for me every day if I’ll just look up and notice.

If you are reading this it means that not only have you sucessfully negotiated the change in address from the old website but also that I have sucessfully manged to get all of my Blog creation tools changed over as well!
