this aught to teach me a lesson.  I updated the version of wordpress that I was using on my Mixed Student Resources site and some how I blew up the category file in the sequal db in the background.  eeerrrrrgggg.  At least I was able to back up the posts (which would have killed me if that hadn’t worked).  I then reinstalled the new version of wordpress and imported the posts back to the site.  Now I have to recreate my categories.

I may have to reconsider how I have my theme set up.  It is very category dependent, which at the time I liked but in lieu of this set back I may reconsider my theme and how it runs.

But again.  Rebuilding categories not the worst thing in the world, trying to rebuild all my posts might have really gotten me down.

The lesson – back up your work often!

I have decided to change the theme of my blog.  In a perfect world I would be cool and design one on my own, but I am not sure what I would do… I wish I knew how to work with photos better.  It would be cool to do a strip of photos from different ages along the side bar, then have the rest of the blog be clean lines and cool functionality.

It also became clear to me the other day that I really needed to re-do the art website, which of course is something I have been saying for a while now.  I would love to use wordpress as the cms and make it  so my sister and my dad could post things, but I have not taken the time to look into it.  Regardless, when I make changes you will know about it.

Last Friday while having a nice dinner at the local Red Robin Mario and I had some wonderful wedding break throughs.

1. website addresses for the wedding and for the web hosting business that we could never come up with a name for.
The blog for the wedding is www.geekwedding.info (which if you have met us makes perfect sense). The second site name was actually a suggested site from GoDaddy.com. Our web hosting company is now called GeekFiesta.com. If that doesn’t make you want to host with us I don’t know what would.

2. Robots in love. I don’t know if there is anything sweeter than robots in love so we are porbaby going to be integrating them into our web site and somehow into the things we send out to people.

3. Hacking together some sort of photo booth would be cool (admittedly this was me driving this one). But subsequent Google searching uncovered several programs that will allow a person to use a digital camera and computer and printer to make the guts of a photo booth. There were even a couple open source programs. I can’t wait to try them.
