Movement
After 4 years of being left to rot, I’ve updated my blog again. If you can read this entry, then my hosting and domain names have transferred across to my new provider.
Like the new design?
Category: My website
Various bits of information about updates to my website.
New Look
Having been bored with the old look of my website, I’ve just updated my website to a newer theme. It’s supplied by my hosting provider (Siteground) and I think it looks quite good.
For those reading this post through an aggregator (or via Facebook), it’s still basically a two-column blue affair. You can visit me at www.ianburnett.com to see for yourself.
Comments always welcome.
And We’re Back
Hopefully that should be everything back to normal, with my blog now moved to www.ianburnett.com. Any bookmarks should still work, but everything is now based around my main website.
Possibly the shortest blog post for the amount of work required.
I am Moving
Only in the WWW sense though.
Since this blog was created (way back in October 2007) it has always lived at blog.ianburnett.com. The main idea was that I would have a more serious website of www.ianburnett.com, with my blog being slightly less so. I would also have gallery.ianburnett.com to showcase my photography highlights, plus a couple of private websites for photos of Lucy and a wedding I went to back in 2007.
These days, however, it’s a struggle keeping on top of security for every individual site. Before a brief spring-clean this morning, I had the following:
- A Joomla 1.0 site (loads of security holes)
- A Joomla 1.5.1 site (quite a few security holes)
- A Joomla 1.5.2 site (some security holes)
- A WordPress 2.6 site (quite a few security holes)
- My main WordPress 2.8 site (no known security holes)
- Three Gallery 2.3 sites (no security holes, but quite a bit of admin)
That’s a lot of admin to look after. Neither do I need a heavyweight main website plus my blog, so they’re merging. This blog will eventually reside at www.ianburnett.com, with an automatic redirect covering any old links you may have. I will be dropping the mostly unknown gallery.ianburnett.com, in favour of a link to my Flickr site (which is now a pro account due to being a BT Internet customer). Let someone else look after the security!
Hopefully, nothing will break during this – bear with me while this change takes place. I’ll post again when things are updated and finalised.
Round-Up
I’ve been sitting here finishing off bits of blog entries which I’ve started recently, but never got round to finishing. Here’s a quick recap for stuff you might have missed.
Furthest back is the cautionary tale of trying to have a shower while in a hotel, although I should be thankful at least that I had lights while doing so. I’ve added some thoughts on whether resolution actually matters in a digital camera, and then been thankful for the most basic of data entry devices. More recently, we’ve been shopping for shoes, but only after my inept display of romance.
