Well, I’m pretty much done fixing up my blog here – most everything works and generally it looks like it used to. You’ve probably noticed that the sidebar has moved back over to the right; I’m not sure if I care enough to move it back to the left. Also, I’ve begun to wonder if the right-hand side isn’t best for the sidebar anyway – given the way we read & whatnot. (I’ve been doing a lot of research into “usability” and user-interface design lately.) So, for now, I think it’ll just say where it is.<\/p>\n
I’m generally pretty pleased with how quickly I got things back into order around here – given that you can’t import templates from Blogger<\/a> into WordPress<\/a> (they manage templates in very different ways). Also, I had customized my template quite extensively – and although I started with a WordPress version of a similar template, it still required quite a bit of work (the CSS syntax allows you to write things many different ways, and this template used a very different – and IMHO hard to read & understand – style). <\/p>\n Those “category” things over in the sidebar are also pretty cool; as is the “trackback” feature. I’ve tried to categorize things as best I can, and some articles are in more than one category, but you can see that most of what I write here is either personal<\/a> or political<\/a>. Be sure to use the “search” feature too; it only searches this blog, and not the entire StarKeith.net<\/a> site (as my previous Google<\/a> search did). It is case sensitive, though. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n So, all in all, thanks for hanging in there while I got things in order around here, and stay tuned for more!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Well, I’m pretty much done fixing up my blog here – most everything works and generally it looks like it used to. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"webmentions_disabled_pings":false,"webmentions_disabled":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"activitypub_content_warning":"","activitypub_content_visibility":"","activitypub_max_image_attachments":3,"activitypub_interaction_policy_quote":"anyone","activitypub_status":"","footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-518","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-personal","entry"],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pimUj-8m","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":963,"url":"https:\/\/www.starkeith.net\/coredump\/2007\/11\/04\/again-with-the-new-theme\/","url_meta":{"origin":518,"position":0},"title":"Again with the new theme","author":"Keith Survell","date":"November 4, 2007","format":false,"excerpt":"Once again, I have changed the theme of this blog... in terms of the visual style, anyway.","rel":"","context":"In "personal"","block_context":{"text":"personal","link":"https:\/\/www.starkeith.net\/coredump\/category\/personal\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"","width":0,"height":0},"classes":[]},{"id":505,"url":"https:\/\/www.starkeith.net\/coredump\/2005\/05\/30\/wordpressing\/","url_meta":{"origin":518,"position":1},"title":"WordPressing","author":"Keith Survell","date":"May 30, 2005","format":false,"excerpt":"So, I've finally moved over to WordPress.
