Outside of taking a break from writing as much during the holidays, I have given the posting a break because of a problem: my previous hosting company has become steadily unreliable.
This unreliable service translates to readers as “500 Internal Server Error” messages, long load times, “Hello, World” postings, and — my favorite — presenting an [...]

K9JY and WriteLog Users Site Down Over Weekend
This weekend, my host’s server suffered a “Distributed Denial of Service” attack. As a result, my sites were down for about 36-hours this weekend, including my e-mail. Fortunately, it happened Saturday morning local time and that should have gotten most of you through the set-up in WriteLog for the CQWW SSB Contest.
You would have received [...]
Comment functionality upgraded on K9JY
Here on K9JY.com, I love constructive comments. To help the conversation along, I’ve added a plugin from Pressography.com that adds two functions for readers in comments.
You will note that each comment now has a “Reply” and a “Quote” link as noted below:
Clicking on “Reply” will put some automatic code in the comment box and [...]
Logo experimentation
For those of you looking on the site, I’ve added a logo to the top of the header with the link back to http://k9jy.com. It is not working correctly when pages are clicked or if a single post is clicked and you want to put in comments. I’m hopeful to figure it out over the [...]

Ever wish you could go back in time and send that crucial email that could have changed everything — if only it hadn’t slipped your mind? Gmail can now help you with those missed deadlines, missed birthdays and missed opportunities.

WriteLog Site updated
Over the weekend, I did a lot of updates to the K9JY WriteLog User Site, though not much to the content.
Essentially:
I replaced the theme with the one you see here on this site. It’s tough to maintain different themes — too many places where things are hidden that are in the documentation…somewhere.
Updated all of [...]
Blog Update — December 7, 2007
This week I’ve had the opportunity to do a lot of behind-the-scenes work on the blog. Essentially, the new theme here uses “CSS” for rendering pictures, but most of my pictures that accompany articles use “HTML” for how the picture is presented. If you used Internet Explorer, you didn’t notice. If you use Firefox or [...]
K9JY Site Updates — November 24, 2007
Well, what started off as looking for the problem with a database error I was receiving upon upgrading to the latest version of WordPress software used on this blog has resulted in major changes to the site.
It started simply enough — upgrading the underlying WordPress software to 2.3.1 using a one-button upgrade button from my [...]
K9JY WriteLog User Site Update: November 14, 2007
Just a quick update to let you know that I’ve added in the information for a couple of different sections.
First, Post Contest.
This section describes all of the activities that can be done after the contest is over. This section tells you how to edit your log, export your log, submit your log, create reports, and [...]
New Media Page on K9JY
Well, in case you were wondering who the person behind the curtain is here at K9JY, I’ve written a media page that offers up a short and long bio with various sized images.
Just in case some ham radio magazine comes along and wants to know what’s what.
Scot, K9JY
K9JY WriteLog Site Update — August 20, 2007
More progress on getting the K9JY 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. This is what you do when you first [...]
