We are replacing our old static website with a website based on WordPress… I have WordPress up and running in the root domain however the homepage index.html is coming up in place of what should be the WordPress homepage as well as all other pages and posts. I would delete the old static pages however several of them are already indexed in the search engines. The solution: With verio vps hosting I just renamed the index.html file to index.html.bak… all wordpress pages functioned fine. The next step is to figure out why the wordpress permalinks are not working with verio vps. Here is what the new wordpress site looks like:

After I set up Wordpress on my verio VPS hosting account I was able to upload images but was getting this error message in the end:

On my verio VPS hosting account I had problems getting logged into PHPmyadmin… unlike other web hosts there was no mention of PHPmyadmin in the control panel. After a quick conversation with technical support they told me I needed to install it before I could use it. We did that by logging into shell and typing “install PHPmyadmin” and then visiting https://my username.securesites.net/phpmyadmin/ . The next step was to create a new database and import my sql database file that I exported from the temp wordpress site I setup to test and develop the site. The image below shows my db tables after the import. I the just changed the wp-config file to connect to the new db.

I just started using a service called “steady offload” which claims to speed up your websites by offloading pictures, CSS files, Java script files, to their servers. They have a WordPress plug-in that handles everything for you. Everything worked fine yesterday however when I try to post a new blog post today the photos in the new post are not showing up… as you can see from the below screenshot I just have little red x’s where the images should be. This might have something to do with the fact that I am testing out a client-side blogging tool called “RocketPost.” More details when I figure out what the hell is going on.

While registering for an account at this website… http://www.behance.net/Sign_Up?sent=yes I went through the little tour they have and was impressed by how much content they fit in to a small blue “Take Tour” button. It’s nice that the whole tour is loaded without having to change pages. Everything seems responsive and “light”.

Today down at the club. Tawan played all day in the water and on the rope swing. Bob took may and t to the aquarium while i did some racing. Simon and roger were on the Hobie, marco on his little red tri, and joe and i on the nacra. Three races and mild sunburn followed by cold tigers and hot burgers.

Johan takes in the view.
