I’m Ed Nisley and this is my blog…
What’s Going On
Everybody needs a notebook; I have shelves full of ’em. The problem is: how do you find anything?
Well, here’s another way of organizing all those jots & tittles: searchable blog posts, with enough metadata to make them useful. Seems to work well enough.
Photographs
I reduce images to a rational size before posting, which means they’re not breathtakingly detailed even in the enlarged view. If you need more detail, contact me and I’ll help you out.
To a good first approximation, all the photos & screenshots came from my very own hands.You’re free to use them, subject to the CC license below, and if you need original image files straight from the camera, let me know.
Comments
You must leave an email address, which is the simplest way WordPress has to deter of most of the spammers; as nearly as I can tell, your email address will not be viewable by other folks.
I review all comments and ruthlessly delete spam, so if you’re not actually commenting on a post or participating in a discussion, don’t bother.
ProTip: don’t combine:
- a user name like “Cellar Conversion”
- a URL from a British concrete company
- a throwaway@yahoo.com email address
- an IP address suggesting you’re halfway around the planet
If you’re legitimate, your comment must be far more substantial than “I’m having the same problem and have tried everything” to get approved. My heart goes out to you, but … tell us what you’ve tried, OK?
Yes, I know that no spammer will actually read this far, but now you know what’s happening behind the scenes.
Formatting
Roughly once every decade, I update the WordPress theme, which I do by picking a simple theme and ripping out whatever makes it look trendy. Even though the current theme seems pretty stark, it serves my purposes well enough.
If you’re selling site design services, I’m not interested.
