Site Update: Server Switcheroo!

So… whoa.

If anyone has visited my site in the last week, you might have noticed that it was sporadically offline or was giving error messages.

Sorry about that!

Due to situations beyond mine or my web host’s control, I am being switched to a new server (my old one was… well… too old?) and where I believe 99.9% of everything has switched over just fine, there might be a hiccup or three here and there as everything else gets sorted out and finalized.

I apologize for any difficulties or inconveniences anyone might experience between then and now and if any new developments should pop up, I’ll will let you know!

Hopefully everything will finish settling soon!

Store Update: Store Not Yet Open

Hey there yet again!

This is the last update for today, I promise.

As you can well guess, the Storefront part of the website is not yet open for business.

The Storefront will be the last part of the Emotiomental Graffiti website to open (I intend to have the main section, blog, and portfolio all up and ready and fully functional before I turn my attention to the store) and when it does…

Mmmmm… I think that maybe I will leave the contents of the store unsaid.

Give everyone a surprise for the future, yeah?

At any rate, I will post more when the time draws nearer.

Have fun guessing!

  • Site Update: Website Loading Issues March 6, 2010
    After installing Google Analytics to my website and blog site… I started noticing some strange layout loading problems on my sites. Namely, these problems specifically involve my entire site loading approximately 25 to 50px vertically lower than it should. The topbar main navigation should be hugging the top, right? And before I installed Google Analytics […]

  • Site Update: RSS Feed Content Going Wonky July 5, 2009
    WTF, My RSS feed blocks (which happen to feed in content – update posts in particular – from each of my respective posting categories) are apparently all messed up. In particular, my RSS feed block for my blog updates is messed up. Instead of showing three posts from my Blog Updates category, it’s showing the last three [...] […]

    The Giving Props sidebar widget block finally has content! Took me long enough, huh? It’s still not 100% done, but it’s close! Have a look! ~ EMG Afterthought: Maybe I should clone that Giving Props block and import a copy to the main site here… […]

  • Blog Update: AddThis Angst July 19, 2009
    So uhmmm… whooops? The newer version of the WordPress-specific AddThis coding (the one you can manually add to your posts that uses the php echo?) does NOT validate through W3C. It WORKS, but because of the ampersand and perhaps something else, W3C is going bonkers over it, offering up anywhere between 5 to 9 errors [...] […]

    Hey there, Though the Projects section of the website is not up yet (and probably won’t be up for a little while), I thought I’d let you all know that despite not having any of the content up, I do have projects in the works. Once I get the main portion of the website along with the [...] […]

    Hi again, This update is to let everyone know that once the blog is re-themed and restructured, work will begin on the Portfolio section of the website. I have a lot of additional material to add to my portfolio from the last time I posted it anywhere, so it’s going to be interesting to see how much [...] […]

• Other Websites

  Here is a listing of other website projects that I have worked on or am currently working on/involved with - professionally, personally, and/or otherwise.

• Other Places

  Where else am I on the web? I'm not much of a community person, but here are a few places where you might find me wandering around.

  • WordPress.org Support Forums
  • WordPress.com Support Forums
  • Firefox Forums
  • Opera Forums
  • Pandora

• Other Spaces

  If you're interested in recommendations:

  Web Hosting

  • There are a lot of webhosts out there and I've given a few of them a run for their services (while they've given me a run for my money) and after all this time... Dreamhost wins my vote. The price is right, the package has everything I need, the CPanel has everything right at my fingertips, there's Fantastico's One-Click Installs (you can still do everything manually if you want), but most importantly, their customer support for me has been nothing short of OUTSTANDING. Add to the fact that Dreamhost is also now green? That's pretty damned awesome. Go visit them yourself or read my full review for more information.

  Web Applications

  • WordPress has come a long way, baby, and boy how it's grown! From the ability to create fully-customized static pages to the ability to customize the hell out of your post display Loop to the ability to change themes like a chameleon to all the plugins that are available for your WordPress-enhancing pleasure, WordPress has a lot going for it and to top it all off, it's open source and free to use! Perfect for bloggers, online journalists, writers, artists, and people in general like you who have something to say and who want to say it THEIR way, WordPress is the platform where ideas, thoughts, and experiences are presented in the way they were meant to be - in YOUR voice and with YOUR style.

  There are just some sites, apps, services, products, and people who (in my opinion) deserve their own little block here away from all the other links (or maybe in spite of all the other links).
