Back in Business – almost
The issue here was a plugin, one that tries to minimize the load on servers by relying on Javascript libraries housed at Google.
The “Use Google Libraries” plugin needed updating, and that new version arrived tonight.
We will return you soon to pithy quotes and unusual perspectives. (Provided you have a computer monitor compatible with the new Digital Occam signal from this past weekend’s transition…)
Update: My Text widgets in the sidebar are gone.
I used multiple instances for showing feedburner stats and other things of interest. They also stored my analytics codes, so I am rather blind at this point as to who exactly is visiting me.
Fortunately, not all of my sidebar text was in standard Text widgets. I am a big fan of the Ad Rotator plugin, which is essentially a text widget with a randomization function built in. (That’s how, for instance, you see different endorsements from people each time you refresh the browser.)
So, not all is lost. But a lot is. For now.
Anyone else have a solution? And WordPress people out there also missing their Text Widgets after the jump to 2.8?

Content Is King! Long Live the King!

Content is king. It started with a Tweet by Jeremy Meyers, that said the following: “Ironically, content about how “Content is King” is not an example of good content.” I responded with: “If Content were King, then Pink would have stayed dry.” I was referring, of course, to Pink’s performance at the Grammy Awards, where
Owning My Links

Part of the reason I started noodling with WordPress was the ability to “own” my own site. Not have it hosted elsewhere, not beholden to anyone else’s whims and limitations. I can do what I want with the template and the look and the feel and the content. I can even move the URL around,

Usually, I have a good idea why people come to this site. I use the free Sitemeter tool to track hits, and as I generally have low traffic and no ads, that’s decent enough for me. Sitemeter tracks the last 100 visitors, and let’s me know (among other things) the page they hit, how long
Shaking things up

It was time for a new look. I liked the old look, but there was something about the old “old look” that was missing. Yet, the “old” old look lacked several features. This look will get some tweaking in the meantime.
Is it time to close the barn doors?

Honestly, it’s a question that doesn’t get asked enough. “Is it time to shut down this site?” I’m not so much concerned about content and direction for my writing; indeed, I am happy contributing within niches elsewhere. It’s my question about the format itself. I write, I share, I communicate through several media now. I
More WordPress Weirdness

I have diagnosed part of my problem. The QuickRSS plugin I had active on my site was not playing nicely with the built-in RSS fetch in the WordPress 2.8 administration panel. I deactivated the plugin, and that problem is solved. However, I still have no access to the visual editor.
Temporarily Vanilla

I just upgraded to the new version of WordPress, and for now, I recommend you wait. Something funky is going on in the background, so for the time being I bring you Retro-Occam. Plain vanilla theme, plain vanilla plugins.

My essay, Chemical Warfare, was just a little too Social Media heavy for here, so it’s up over at Media Bullseye. Give it a read if you wish, and comment where you’d like.
Minor tweaks and fixes

I’m still fixing a few things here, trying to get the most out of the new features while recapturing some of the neat look-and-feel of the last incarnation of Occam’s Razr. I took down the Thoughtful Blather page, as it really was no longer high enough to be thoughtful nor low enough for blather. I
