- Wednesday, August 12, 2020 12:31 AM: Blog Updated to WordPress v5.5
-
I just updated my blog to WordPress v5.5 which contains a number of feature updates and the usual security and bug fixes. As always, I backed up my files and database first. I have automatic updates disabled so I can do this beforehand. As I usually do, I updated the local copy on my PC before updating the blog here.
The Twenty Twelve theme I use was also updated to version 3.2. I only needed to make one change in my child theme's header.php file to match the updates. So far, the update seems to have gone fine. 🙂

Wishing everyone a Happy (and safe) 4th of July! 😃. There’s Uber and Lyft services; so, there’s no excuse for anyone to drink and drive.
Have a great Independence Day! 🙂 🎆🎇🎇🎆

- Wednesday, July 1, 2020 11:52 PM: Websites Being Moved to New Server on July 3rd
-
I got an email from Surpass Hosting stating that on July 3rd, 2020 they are moving my websites onto a new server which will have new Hostname and DNS information. So, it's quite possible that from 9:00 PM central on July 3rd through 7:00 AM on July 4th my sites are down. They might also be acting up throughout the 4th depending how things go and when I can check things. I will be backing up all my databases and stuff before this happens.
Even though the only ones that might notice anything is my parents, I thought I should go ahead and mention something just in case. 🙂

Wishing everyone a Happy Father’s Day, especially mine! Love you Dad and hope you’re doing well! You’re the best! Yeah, I know, I’m recycling the same image I used the last eight years LOL, but how could I not? After all, his name is also Dale Jr. 😃
Sorry, I would have posted earlier but I got side tracked playing Sims 4 LOL (it was on sale for like $6.42).

Website was created with HomeSite v4.5. After Macromedia purchased HomeSite I stopped upgrading. It seems to do the things I want.. so why upgrade? Also, some aspects of version 4.5 that I use on occasion were removed from later versions.
