Anthony — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 21:48:24 +0000

We had to change our motorcycle trip from the mountains to south Alabama and south Mississippi due to the weather forecast. After preparing to video riding on the curvy mountain roads, I never got the video camera out. Footage of … Continue reading →

Comments Are Fixed

My comments haven’t been working for a week or so. Once I finally had an opportunity to look into the problem, I couldn’t find a fix that worked. I Googled for a solution using multiple phrases, and found fixes for many similar problems, but found no one with the exact same issue. I finally just backed up, created a new database, and went from there. So far, so good.

Just How Important is a Site’s Design?

Anthony — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 23:35:12 +0000

We designers make out like a website’s design is extremely crucial to the success of a site. However, someone forgot to tell that to Seth Godin and Steve Pavlina. These guys have two of the most popular and plain jane blogs on the net. It makes me wonder…maybe we just like design because it’s fun and interesting.

Caught this Raccoon

Caught this little guy in my backyard after noticing the cat food was disappearing(no, the cat didn’t eat it). The same week, we caught two coons, and one opossum.

Ever Wonder What Happened to the Mustache?

Let me say, that I still know quite a few men who wear a mustache well. Most of them are old enough to be my father. You rarely see a younger man that can wear and actually ‘pull off’ the mustache these days. Wesley Morris of Boston.com writes a great article, The Sad and Curious Exile of the American Mustache, explaining how and why the once mighty mustache has become a comedic prop…..great read…..Since then, The Art of Manliness have listed the manliest mustache’s of all time.

Where Have I Been?

Anthony — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 23:18:51 +0000

It’s been over a month since I posted, so what have I been up to? Well, a lot, actually. From a web perspective, I’ve been working on my BANS stores, and am having a really good month….my best since eBay started the eBay partner network for affiliates. I’ve also been on my second week of vacation this month – this past week. While off work, I’ve been working on a site for my church, which is being built on WordPress. Aside from the web, I spent one week on vacation in Florida, and have spent a lot of time doing yard work, breaking in my new(to me) riding lawn mower.

Technorati Top 100 dumps Antbag.com

Anthony — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 17:21:38 +0000

It appears Technorati decided to remove me from their top 100 popular blogs list. I’ve been expecting this ever since I first realized I had made the list. I only made the list because of the thousands of incoming links I have – from the many blogs that are using a WordPress design that I authored. I made it all the way up to #38, and I’ve noticed today that I’m no longer there. It doesn’t really matter, although I did receive around 10-15 visits per day from being on that list.

Since Technorati has become pretty useless, now I don’t have much reason to pull up their site.

Themes and Desktops are Available Again

Anthony — Sun, 06 Apr 2008 16:46:37 +0000

Some of you know that with my latest upgrade(to WP 2.5), my downloads section was broken. I’ve been using the WP-Download-Monitor plug-in by Mike Jolley. He has the plug-in upgraded for the newest version of WordPress, so yay! I mentioned before, that the new WP Dashboard has one click plug-in updates. Well, this plugin didn’t show up in my plug-ins list once I upgraded, so I didn’t realize this was out of date. It seems it’s been updated for several weeks, and I didn’t realize it, so sorry for the trouble. I’m glad I was able to email themes to quite a few of you.

WordPress 2.5!

Anthony — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 00:23:57 +0000

I just updated this site to WordPress 2.5, and this is a pretty exciting upgrade. First of all, the new admin panel looks fantastic. Very open and clean. Something else that I was really happy to see in this release is the one-click updates for plug-ins. I immediately updated about four plug-ins after the WP upgrade, and it took about two minutes to update all of them. Lots of cool new features.
