Back with many improvements
As you all knew I was leaving on Thursday to go on a well deserved bre
ak to the download music festival. I returned late yesterday and did not post yesterday.
As I first logged in upon return I was notified that my WordPress installation was now out of date and I should upgrade to version 2.8. This as always posed a huge threat to the site as upgrade installs sometimes wipe out the entire site.
A full backup was then taken (having a much larger database than I expected) and then a manual upgrade took place. The upgrade went perfectly which is what I had wanted and I was able to go straight back to work on the site.
A new feature
The 2.8 upgrade also seemed, to me, to be the best possible time to finally make a mobile version of LM-BLOG.
Interview with Orient Lodge’s Aldon Hynes
Okay here is the first of hopefully many interviews with other bloggers. I am hoping that you will find these interviews very informative and that you can all reply with questions of your own for these people.
Anyway here is the Interview with Aldon Hynes of Orient Lodge.
[Aldon Hynes] In a few months, I will turn fifty years old. I’ve spent much of my working life with computers. I started programming in the 1960s and got on the Internet in the early 1980s. I like to experiment with any new piece of technology that comes along.
A little about your blog… what made you start it ?
[Aldon Hynes] I had been writing content for various websites online for a few years. In 2004, I was credentialed to cover the Democratic National Convention in Boston. It was about that time that I figured I needed to come up with one central repository to keep all the different things I was writing online.
What do you cover in your blog ?
[Aldon Hynes] Pretty much, I cover whatever catches my attention. A lot of it started with technology and politics. It has expanded into journalism, and I like to write about local events and family events. The technology area has expanded to focus a lot on social media issues.
