More progress on getting the K9JY WriteLog (http://k9jy NULL.com/writelog) site back up to snuff. I spent quite a bit of time on it over the weekend, but did not make as much progress as might thought of just in looking at the site.
Here are the completed areas:
First Time Setup (http://k9jy NULL.com/writelog/first-time-setup/). This is what you do when you first get WriteLog
WriteLog Windows (http://k9jy NULL.com/writelog/writelog-windows/). Everything to know about operating and configuring WriteLog Windows.
WriteLog.ini (http://k9jy NULL.com/writelog/writelogini/). All the optional setting settings configured through the writelog.ini file.
Within Specialized Setup (http://k9jy NULL.com/writelog/specialized-setup/), I’ve done the File (http://k9jy NULL.com/writelog/specialized-setup/file/), Entry (http://k9jy NULL.com/writelog/specialized-setup/entry/) and Radio (http://k9jy NULL.com/writelog/specialized-setup/radio/) areas. There is more to do in this section, including Setup, Tools, and Contest areas. This will be a lot of work.
Also left to do is the entire Post Contest section, covering all the stuff to do after the contest.
Finally, the “other” WriteLog areas not covered by the other areas needs to be completed. Subjects such as changing window colors, Master Files, and other fun subjects that you will eventually want to know about with the program.
There are two main things slowing things down: one, the removal of a bunch of extraneous code from the old site on the content so that it is clean and runs faster for you (i.e., I can’t just copy and paste the content which would have been the ideal situation); and, second, additions to the site covering new features not in the older version on the previous site.
Having said that, I think I’m making good progress.
Scot, K9JY

Thanks for the information on writelog, being a newer operator I have looked at all the logging and other amateur radio programs I could find and just haven’t come across this site yet, thanks.

Yup, trying to make it a great site for WriteLog. It’s a lot of work to maintain, but well worth it. I have recently switched my host company and the software that I use for the site and it has surprised me how much time it has taken to clean up the code and consolidate the information.
But, should be done pretty soon. I appreciate the comment!
You said:

Okay, I may be missing something obvious, but why not?
I can see it would be a problem cutting from the HTML with all of the markup embedded in the text, but did you try viewing the formatted document in the browser, and then cutting from the browser window and pasting into the new HTML(or the WordPress edit window)?
Its still tedious, but easier than re-keying. Tables are more difficult, but if you have a skeleton built for the new document, its still easier than re-keying the text.
Shoot me a note if you want to chat offline.

I should clarify on the copy and paste. I’m copying and pasting from FrontPage program which does not display the HTML code unless I go to a code view. Interestingly, that picks up the embedded HTML which I place over in WordPress and then edit out the extraneous code.
But, I’m going to display my FrontPage info in an actual browser (the HTML doesn’t show on the editing page, only in the code view page) and see if that gets rid of the code. A “DOH” moment, Kaz, so thanks for the comment! It will save me some time.
>>A “DOH” moment….
Well, I have all too many of those myself.
But I’ve got to admit that my advice is self serving–since I think your Writelog site has been very helpful to me. Thanks!
73 es gud luck
