Raving Amicks

I’m not talking about the image bar on the front page. That one is obviously not at all hidden. I’m talking about when you are composing a new post, and suddenly you want to add an image to it. We totally used to have this, and it was awesome.

Well, now it’s back. Subtly. <– holy shit that is a weird looking word.

The picture shows a little hand where it is. Click on that and you can add photos to your posts from our flickr account again. Dad already figured this out, but I’m not sure if everyone else did. Yay!

Here’s an image I’m attempting to add to the website. I’ll be kind of amazed if I managed to get it working already. Hats off to the guy that updated his plugin.

Okey dokey, I, uh, managed to break the private post functionality when I upgraded WordPress. So we’re going to have a public contest!

Everyone post your best submission in the comments here (and send it to the contest email address indicated in the original post)!

On friday, I’ll make a new post where we can judge them (nicely)!

Hi, I’ve updated WordPress to the latest version (2.5), which is kind of the first step to getting this website fixed up. Even better, I’ve changed the way the site is installed, so that the next time I need to upgrade it, I just type one command!

You’ll notice some changes on the back-end, but it’s still pretty similar to before. Let me know if you have any questions about it. I know all the picture stuff is super broke, they are the next thing I’m going to try to fix.

I’m just glad I didn’t actually delete everybody’s posts.

I dunno where all these retarded comment spams came from, but over the weekend I deleted like 800 of them or so. It turns out wordpress has problems displaying obscene amounts of spam so I had to do some weird stuff just to make them deletable (there seems to be no way to make that into a real word). Somewhere along the line I managed to delete two real comments. If you see your comment missing, please make it again, or our collection will never be complete!

Anyway, as Mason pointed out, a bunch more shoved their way in, and I just got rid of them. I’ll have to find some sneaky way to keep dumb comments out. Maybe I’ll make a secret question!

Lol, Mason. I hereby declare you appellationally-challenged. Now you’ve made the posts look confusing. On the bright side, it will probably make me start fixing up this half-broken blog and start requiring titles for posts.

Hi Grandma! I see you’ve been directed to our online presence. If you’d like to post, let me know, and I’ll make you an account. I think you’ll find it easier to use than you would think, and I know we’d love to have you updating us with your east coast antics.

Thanks, Brady, for saying such nice things about the site. It’s kind of amazing that everyone has kept posting for so long, even though various parts of the site have slowly withered away with neglect. Did you know that there used to be a row of photos along the top of the front page? It looked great! It’s broken now, along with some other stuff. Oh and hey if you want an account to post stuff here, you can have one too. We like people.
