I Am A Certified CSS Idiot

I am headed back to <font>…</font> and <blink>…</blink> tags (not). I am almost too embarrassed to admit this, but thanks to an email from Keith K, it was pointed out the CSS class names used by Feed2JS are not exactly W3C valid since they use underscores (e.g. .rss_box) and this may/will cause display problems in […]

All Your Old Jade Links Are Mine

The conversion is complete. With one line of text, I have preserved every old link, every RSS feed, under the former URL/host for this blog from the old cogdogblog.com/…. to the exact same links here at the new home at cogdogblog.com/…/.

Finally- something with a “2.0” on the end that has substance! My first tech task of 2006 has been the upgrade of CDB to WordPress 2.0 the “Duke” release.
