Musings of Wired Pig

I am in the planning stages for converting my current WordPress theme from HTML 4 to HTML 5.

Being early in the planning phase I am looking up HTML 5 resources and gathering links that may be useful.

A week ago I decided to speed up the blog by making a new one… if only I had known exactly what work it would entail I may have decided to stick with a very slow blog instead.

Due to a database error that I was unable to remedy, I have moved all of the prior content to here.

All previous links will still work in pointing you to the correct article. You should be seamlessly routed to the Archive blog without any effort.

Should I eventually be able to solve the issue I’ll happily move the blog back and redirect Archive access’ back to the Main Blog. But, until that happy day, this is what we have.

The blog has been upgraded from WordPress 2.5.1 to 2.6
You can read more about the changes in WordPress versions here.

There was a problem that developed with a couple of plugins on the blog. That has been corrected and the offending plugins have been summarily executed.
Thank you for your patience.

I’m not sure what else to call the recent spade of attacks my server has faced in the last few days. But I have thwarted them, for now.
Please DON’T search my site for the terms: inject, string or http or you will be bounced out.
Now, onto a summary of the suspicious activity.

I am working on a new theme for the site based on the current one.
The current theme uses the Grid.CSS template and I will be building on that. I like the current colors but am looking for more granular control and will be moving to 24 columns rather than the current 14. This should allow [...]
