Blogging by email

Posted on December 3, 2007 by steve

I have now been able to set up the ability to post blog entries via email. This means I can post entries without the need for a browser. This message is being sent from my phone. It also means I can post blog entries using the email facility over short wave – when I eventually get this sorted out

Blogs copied over

Posted on December 2, 2007 by steve

Just finished copying over all my old blog entries back to last March. This was quite tedious but I’m glad I’ve done this. It was quite strange going back over all the blogs associated with Dignity’s delivery. It feels such a long time ago. The excitement and pain has already faded into the past and is beginning to feel more of a blip on our journey. The next step of our journey will be our all too brief trip to the BVIs next February – now less than 11 weeks away. Wow.

Another video from BVIs

Posted on December 2, 2007 by steve

Been playing around with plugins for WordPress. One makes inserting video into posts a lot simpler. Here is a montage which I don’t think I posted before.

I have also categorised each post that contains a video link (with the category Video) to facilitate quick location of all video content.

New Blog Software

Posted on December 1, 2007 by steve

I have changed my blogging software. A ran into difficulties embedding code (links to albums, etc.) with b2evolution. With WordPress, I can do these things so I have switched. Given that both were based on a sql database, I was able to figure out how to download the messages I had put into the old blog and import them into the new. I have also been able to go back over all the BVI blogs and enlarge the photos as this new tool supports a wider screen.

Hope you like it.

Atlantic Fare

Tito – the owner of Lagoon 420 #42, Sea Si, is currently crossing the Atlantic as part of the ARC fleet. His logs make very interesting reading.
