I recently wrote a long and some­what detailed arti­cle on set­ting up a Word­press Blog. It’s meant for peo­ple with lit­tle to inter­me­di­ate knowl­edge of nav­i­gat­ing around the web. You do have to get your hands “a lit­tle bit dirty,” so it’s not com­pletely “easy,” but most peo­ple should be able to fol­low the steps out­lined there. I also give away a few of my secrets to obtain­ing a high rank on the Inter­net for search engines.

My other blog, Lunarlog has been com­pletely revamped. I did away with my old design and updated it with some­thing “sleeker.” I also tossed out that old Mov­able­type engine which I hadn’t updated in years.

I let it fall into neglect because I’ve been too busy with my busi­ness, and plus every time I posted an arti­cle on it, I would get hit with tons of com­ment spam for months to come. So excuses aside, it’s up and run­ning now. I’ll be post­ing more indus­try spe­cific news related to Lunarstu­dio, 3D illus­tra­tion, and Archi­tec­tural Ren­der­ings there and try to reserve this blog for more mis­cel­la­neous infor­ma­tion and top­ics. Please check it out and let me know what you think when you have a chance.

Just installed the 2.8.4 update because of a secu­rity hack which allows peo­ple to change the admins pass­word. If you don’t have it on your blog, I would rec­om­mend that you install it now.

There’s a say­ing which goes, “if you don’t like some­thing, don’t do it.” Or rather in this case, “don’t use it.” Unfor­tu­nately, in the case of my Inter­net Ser­vice Provider, there really isn’t any bet­ter alter­na­tive than Com­cast (which I’m effec­tively renam­ing “COMCRAP” in the Boston area. I could go with sec­ond best, which is Ver­i­zon FIOS, but to be per­fectly hon­est, Comcast’s over­all ser­vice and pric­ing is much bet­ter. I do obtain rel­a­tively fast Inter­net speeds, good up-time, and the cus­tomer sup­port (when prob­lems do arise) is gen­er­ally top-notch. How­ever, I am cur­rently tak­ing issue with Comcast’s lat­est “method of con­duct­ing business.”

This web­site has been updated to the lat­est Word­press 2.8.3 update. If you encounter any errors while try­ing to post or view any­thing here, please feel free to com­ment and let me know. Thanks!
