Website 21.2 Revision

Posted July 4, 2010, 1:19 p.m.

I’ve just launched a minor revision to the site, which brings the version to 21.2. The visual changes aren’t too obvious (just some changes to the shadows and a re-worked footer), but I’ve made a number of background changes.

The site now integrates with the new WordPress 3.0 menu system, and I’ve also reworked my theme so it will work correctly with the WP-Super-Cache plugin. All this really means for you, my faithful readers, is that the site will now probably work faster for you in most situations.

Enjoy and, as always, let me know if you run into any problems!

He has been a professional web developer in the public- and private-sector for over twenty years. He is an independent constitutional conservative who believes in human rights and limited government, and a Catholic Christian whose beliefs are summarized in the Nicene Creed. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Public Administration from George Mason University. He loves Pink Floyd and can play the bass guitar . . . sort-of. He’s a husband, pet lover, amateur radio operator, and classic AMC/Jeep enthusiast.
