WordPress 2.6 and Freshy

By Ben Hourigan On 2008-07-29 · Leave a Comment

In the absence of genuine content updates, the long-overdue announcement that this site no longer uses WordPress 2.5 or K2, but is now on WordPress 2.6 and a new theme. I spent several weeks looking for a new base theme for my WordPress sites, and I finally settled on Freshy. Paired with the aptly named [...]

Experimenting

By Ben Hourigan On 2008-06-7 · Leave a Comment

With this blog having been out of action so long, there’s a lot of upgrading to do. I’ve upgraded to WordPress 2.5, and to K2 RC6, losing my custom CSS and header image of the Melbourne skyline in the process. Expect to see some of it back soon.

K2 0.9

By Ben Hourigan On 2006-08-15 · 2 Comments

Update 23 August 2006: I’m back to K2 Beta Two, since 0.9 was messing up the formatting of static pages by putting   tags around them.

It look surprisingly professional now, with a lot of [...]

Migration complete

By Ben Hourigan On 2006-01-8 · Leave a Comment

The site is now up and running at its new home at “Mediatemple”:http://www.mediatemple.net. Several things got broken in the migration process, including, it seems, the text encoding. Please be patient while I put things back in order, with an improved, “K2-based”:http://binarybonsai.com/wordpress/k2/ layout.

Server Change

By Ben Hourigan On 2006-01-8 · Leave a Comment

On the 5th of January, this site’s server went down without warning. When it came back up again on the 6th of January, it had been rolled back to a backup from over a week old. I lost about a week’s worth of posts, and my upgrade to WP 2.0 and K2. My host’s admin [...]
