So as you have probably already noticed (unless you’re reading this via RSS), I have changed a few things here at milestonkin.com. The changes are not merely visual, I’ve also moved to a new, better, shiner web host. There was nothing particularly wrong with the old one, but I’d outgrown them and plus I realized I could pay less and get more elsewhere. I’m also finally free of Blogger in particular and Google in general and milestonkin.com is now brought to you by WordPress. So far, I’m very impressed.
The basics seem to be in place and everything moved across ok. There are legacy issues, such as broken links to images. Unfortunately since I never had a consistent way of uploading images in the old days, there is no straight forward to way to avoid this. I could spend a few hours going back through the all the posts (who am I kidding, it would probably only take me 5 minutes!) and manually fix the links, but I don’t think I really care that much.
Other minor issues include two gallery links above, albums in the gallery with incorrect dates and in the wrong order and old posts not having tags. Since tags are new to milestonkin.com with WordPress, I think we will just draw a line under that and say that all posts from now on will have tags. There…much simpler! The other issues will get resolved as we move forward. I’ll probably be tinkering for a while, but the basic look and feel should stay the same.
Apart from the more pleasing design and lower cost, the site is also much easier to maintain now. Just don’t expect me to blog any more often!!
Thanks to Tryphoon for all the technical support!
I’m loving the new layout! Good work Miles!
