Meta: Change log archives: 2007

This is a record of (major) changes I've made to the site over the years, starting at the time I switched from HTML to XHTML. It's usually more or less up-to-date.

…text added 2nd May, 2007

Added feed showing book most recenty added to LibraryThing to reading page.

2nd December, 2007

Moved the news to it's own page in the interests section, for want of anywhere better to put it.

24th November, 2007

Blog style, stage one: complete

Changed blog styles so that they are kind of embedded within the ordinary layout. The sidebar is still in the blog and the native one isn't there because it's too tricky to do at this stage.

22nd November, 2007

Added things-to-do page, which will show all the things I intend to do with this site.

Added sports page under Interests, which contains a feed from SAFC.

13th November, 2007

Got zfeeder to successfully update offline (behind the scenes, as it were), using a cron job, instead of online, using the browser.

13th November, 2007

Added more feeds to zfeeder and the site. Also played around with the CSS and general layout of the pages, so that they follow the layout implied by the CSS.

10th November, 2007

Used zFeeder to display my blog feeds on the main blog page. I had to change the code slightly in order to get around the fact that DreamHost have switched off the allow_url_fopen flag for security reasons. This functionality is required by the zFeeder code. I used the cURL functionality instead, which seems to work a treat. The Hubster pointed me in the direction of this, via one of his excellent Google searches that he does for me.

9th November, 2007

Used zFeeder to show blog updates from Pandammonia and My Books. This is functionality I've been hoping to get on the front page for a while now, so now that I have it, I'm happy.

31st October, 2007

Went live with the newly redesigned site, using Advantage, a free CSS template from Free CSS Templates. I haven't replaced the Google ads.

26th October, 2007

Complete offline redesign and restructuring of site, still written in PHP and XHTML, and using Advantage, a free CSS template from Free CSS Templates. The blogs are not going to be done until the revamped site is put online. The colophon has been removed along with any mention of LaunchScrobbler, seeing as it doesn't seem to be reappearing, despite what its developer says.

20th-23rd October, 2007

The blogs have been messed up somehow,and I don't know what went wrong. They are now just in an ordinary WordPress style until I get round to sorting out the style sheet.

The LaunchScrobbler information is invalid since the site went down and LaunchScrobbler itself stopped working because of changes to the Yahoo! player. This has been noted.

Updated the dynamic Last.fm widget.

Added new interest page about cooking.

6th September, 2007

Added dynamic Last.fm widget to show recently played tracks alongside the static image.

30th May, 2007

Updated WordPress blogs to V2.1.3. The On This Day plug-in now works.

Updated Gallery 2 to V2.2.1.

Removed forum software at pandammonium.org/forum.

14th May, 2007

Changed list of archives to a drop-down box so it takes up less space. The code to do this is courtesy of Phill Sacre.

Added plug-in to display "on this day" posts from Pandammonia on the pages showing single posts after seeing it on the above-mentioend Phill's site. Doesn't work, however.

13th May, 2007

Experimenting with Google Ads. Let's see how irritating they can be made ;)

3rd May, 2007

Added more information relating to LaunchScrobbler.

This page: added introductory text, fixed a few typos and fixed the order of some entries.

2nd May, 2007

Added button to indicate that this site is green, i.e. carbon neutral.

27th April, 2007

Changed to reflect change in marital status.

17th April, 2007

Added photography.pandammonium.org subdomain, and installed some picture gallery software (a one-click install offered by DreamHost).

Added photography as an interest, with a link to photography subdomain.

Added clouds as an interest, and changed the cloudy pictures section to link to photography subdomain, with a suggestion to search for clouds.
