- Thursday, July 5, 2018 6:29 PM: Blog Updated to WordPress v4.9.7
I just updated my blog to WordPress v4.9.7. “Version 4.9.7 addressed some security issues and fixed 17 bugs.” As always, I backed up my files and database first. I have automatic updates disabled so I can do this beforehand. So far, the update seems to have gone smoothly. 😃

Wishing everyone a Happy (and safe) 4th of July! 😃 For those in certain Oklahoma city areas, AAA is offering their Tipsy Tow service for free once again. You can call them at (800) AAA-HELP or (800) 222-4357. There's also Uber and Lyft services; so, there's no excuse for anyone to drink and drive.Have a great Independence Day! 😃 🎇🎆🎆🎇

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 six years LOL, but how could I not? After all, his name is also Dale Jr. 😃Add/View Comments (0 comment(s))
- Saturday, June 2, 2018 9:51 PM: Galleries Updated to Zenphoto v1.5
Updated both of my galleries (mine, Mysstie’s) to Zenphoto v1.5. Followed their upgrade instructions and backed up the themes and zp-core directories as well as the database before copying over the new files. I then used Windiff and code comparisons in PSPad to integrate any new changes in the default Garland theme into my custom Garland theme. The album.php, functions.php, image.php, news.php, pages.php, sidebar.php, themeoptions.php, and zen.css files were the only modified ones in this version from the previous. So far everything seems to work fine.One of the main differences I discovered is how the thumbnail filenames are being generated. Before they had the format: filename_150_cw150_ch150_thumb.jpg and now: filename_150_w150_h150_thumb.jpg (even though the are still being cropped). So, I had to make sure all the new thumbnails got generated are were present in the /cache/ directory. I then had to change the random image code on my main website, the blog here, and Mysstie's main site to use the new file format.

- Friday, May 18, 2018 5:49 PM: Blog Updated to WordPress v4.9.6
I just updated my blog to WordPress v4.9.6. “This privacy and maintenance release includes 37 enhancements, 51 bug fixes, and 2 tasks.” As always, I backed up my files and database first. I have automatic updates disabled so I can do this beforehand. This also included an update to the TwentyTwelve theme, so I made the appropriate changes to my child them to incorporate them. So far, the update seems to have gone smoothly. 😃

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.
