Okay I give up!

Posted on October 22, 2012 by Malachi Posted in Topic .

I give up… I’ve converted to WordPress as my CMS/Blog engine. I really didn’t want to add PHP and MySQL to my server, as it’s a Windows server and already running MSSQL, but I bit the bullet and did it anyway. Over the years, I’ve been very impressed with many things WordPress does, and I think especially the community support it enjoys. It’s an extremely popular platform, and for good reason. So, standby as I try to get everything up to snuff one more time!

I think I’ll probably skip forums for now. If people ask for forums, I’ll add them. Otherwise, I’ll just stick to the blog and galleries… and maybe an about page and a contact form… but nothing more for the time being. I think you’ll enjoy this version of the website a lot more than previous versions, both from a visual and functional perspective.

Where does the time go?

I can’t believe how long it’s been since I last posted! Well, I’m still here, and trying not to let the site go. I just wish I could get the family to stop by the site more often.

Payden turned 4 just a few days ago!!! I can’t believe he’s that old already. He’s really amazing… and stubborn!

I’m updating the site yet again to a new CMS platform. It’s a .NET based CMS called Composite C1. It’s very easy to use, stable, and fast. I found a post about how to integrate Yet Another Forum into the CMS, so I’m going to work on that over the next few days. YAF is a very robust and mature forum that I’ve used in the past, but it would be nice to have it integrate directly into the CMS and its database.

Anyway, the main reason that I’m migrating to the new platform is that I’ve found some blacklist databases that list the Joomla-based sites IP address as a known SPAM address, and I’m thinking that may be why certain domains won’t accept email from our bofusinc.com email addresses (namely Juno, for Tara’s parents). Hopefully, it will all be worth the trouble.

Server Crash

Posted on December 23, 2010 by Malachi Posted in Topic .

Wow! So naturally once I announce the site is back up, my server crashes hard! My apologies, but it was completely unforeseen and unexpected.

Everything is back up and running once again now (Thanks Chris!). Please create your logins and enjoy the site!
