Hi everyone! I’m in the process of updating my web pages, so I apologize for them looking very generic right now. I am using the standard templates. For my main page I decided to switch over to WordPress after Doug talked me into it. So far I like it and it was relatively painless unlike the upgrade from hell with my pictures link that is using Coppermine photo gallery.

I’m not saying that Coppermine is a bad product. I actually like it a lot, but I took the lazy way to upgrade to the new version. I used ‘fantastico’ which is a nice program made by my hosting company that installs scripts for you. I used it once before when I wasn’t very familiar with mysql and then I decided to use it for the upgrade, big mistake. Once I installed it I noticed that the template that I made wasn’t compatible, also it wouldn’t let me log in. I had to play with phpMyAdmin to get it to work again. I’m still having a few issues but I will work those out over time.

I hope everyone’s new year was good. I know I had a good time. I would like to thank everyone that came to our party. It was a blast. It was a shame that some people had to cancel but we still had a good turnout. Terri and I have already been talking about next year. I posted the photos in the pictures section, and if anyone else has any to contribute let me know. Have a Happy New Year!
