It’s spring and time for some lightness and green. So I switched to one of our alternate stylesheets for the blog, at least, for the moment. Maybe I’ll make a new one later. Or not.

No posts lately. Strep throat. No fun. Luckily strep throat can be treated through the magic of antibiotics, so maybe I will be back next week. See you then. (Or sooner, if I feel up to it.)

Hopefully you are seeing the blog and all of its posts today. We have been working on migrating slumberland.org to a new server. For 3 or 4 days the blog was partially migrated, but not completely, so I couldn’t post. Now I think everything is OK. I hope to post a few things this week…

So, I haven’t really been around for a while. I decided I just needed to take a break. I haven’t been blogging or reading blogs, so if anything particularly newsworthy happened to any of you, I’m sorry, I probably missed it. Nothing serious happened, really — I just wrote a paper, and when I was…

You might have noticed some slight changes around here. I’ve just upgraded to WordPress 1.5. Unfortunately, in the process, some things were broken — most noticeably, the site themes that used to be user-customizable. For the moment there’s only one theme on the site. I will add more if I get a chance, but it’s…

I apologize to those of you who may have seen a lot of test messages pop up in your Slumberland RSS feeds lately. I’ve tried to delete them within a couple of minutes, but some of them might have gotten out anyway. Basically, I have been having problems with the WordPress posting process generating errors…

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. I’ve been unusually ill. Still am. I’ve got a couple of posts saved up that I’ll get posted today, but in general I’m just not so energetic right now. I don’t eat chicken any more but I swear I would love some chicken soup right now. And 7-up,…

I threatened to add a new theme to the blog the other day, and here it is. It’s gray and rainy in Seattle for Memorial Day weekend, but at least you can get some blue sky from this new theme. It’s a bit lower in contrast than some themes, so it may not look good…

Some people have told me that my RSS feeds were broken for them since the WordPress 1.2 upgrade. Other people have said that my pings to weblogs.com, etc. aren’t working. I think I have figured out a possible reason why this may be happening. We’ll see if this post pings, and if the RSS problem…

Apparently some folks think that WordPress weblogs are ugly. Mind of Mog begs to differ, and includes Slumberland as an example of a WP blog with “spiffy design.” Aw, shucks! This reminds me… time for a new site theme, soon.

I’ve just installed WordPress 1.2 on this site. It didn’t go as well as expected (so the site was broken for a while this evening), but everything seems fixed and working at the moment. There’s even a new feature — the “Recent Comments” list in the sidebar. It’s possible you may see some weird behavior…
