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 Safari, the picture moved right up to the text — not what I want to show.

Consequently, I spent most of yesterday going into each article I have written since the beginning of the blog -- 131 of them -- and updating the picture framing.

Interestingly, I also found a lot of missing in action items which I didn't realize were gone from my conversion from Yahoo! to Bluehost hosting and transferring the articles over. So much of the day was replacing pictures and fixing up the content.

Here is some of what got updated:

TI Antenna Setup -- it was missing the pictures of the antennas...

Searching for Salt Water and the pictures for the County and State Parks were missing pictures.

Icom 7700 You Tube Video -- the link properly displays now on the blog...and this is one of my more popular articles on the blog! One could see the video OK if you clicked on the link over to You Tube, but this fixes it so you can see the video on the blog itself...like it should be...

General fixing of the pictures was also done. Plus, I updated the series of rotating pictures at the header of the theme. Hopefully, they will represent ham radio and contesting well.

I've also added in a "Similar Posts" plugin that will automatically bring up other posts relating to the one being viewed.
