GnomeDepot.Net

I’m playing with the theme, so the appearance may change randomly and without notice until both Sisca and I are satisfied. Excuse the dust!

Apparently we were set up to require site registration to comment (and since we host our own site, the generic Wordpress id didn’t work). For now I’ve turned that off, but I haven’t found the place to turn off comment moderation, so I suppose that’s the compromise. I don’t really expect much spam anyway.

I’ve been planning for weeks now to start posting more I’ve just been trying to figure out what direction I wanted to take the site.

I think that I’ve finally decided that I’m mainly going to use it to post on my current experiences in my various MMO’s along with the occasional opinion piece. I’ll probably be changing the categories to reflect this over the next several days.

I’ve also changed the site theme because I’m no longer playing WoW (more on that later) but I’m not completely happy with the new one so there may be more updates later.

Now if I can just convince the wife to chip in with her point of view we might get something going here.

I’ve gotten most of the posts from the old site back into the new site. I’m still working on trying to get the comments back but not only are the table names different - see what happens when you have more control over your site - I also created some new categories before I started the import so I’m going to have to go through and manually import them into the database. This will have to wait until I have more time though so if you commented earlier and want to repost your comments now please feel free.

As you can tell the site is in the process of being rebuilt.

I changed hosting companies and I think I’m going to like this one (DreamHost) much better. They’ve got simple installs - that actually work - of some of the major packages but they also provide you much more control over your site including SSH access so that you can actually get to the inner workings of your site if you want. This is especially true with the email system where I can actually go in and configure the spam filter stuff and not just have an On/Off setting.
