News, etc @ CleverTitania.com

So after months and months of problems, the blog is back up and fully running. We’re also on a new server, that’s more stable and supported (because I’m paying for it now).

But one great thing is; all of the articles I’ve written in the past several months are now available on CT.com! Go check them out (particularly the 3 featured articles). I’ve also installed a top-notch spam detection protocol into this site (back online for 5 hours I already had 30 new spam comments), so the issue of being overloaded with comment maintenance is over.

Now be advised that I’m still tweeking WordPress plugins, as I trim the fat in transition for some changes I’d intended to make almost 8 months ago, when things began going terribly wrong.

First things first, the look of CleverTitania.com needs to change and unify. I’m going to find a look that will cover the whole of the site, not have one look for the main site and another for the blog.

Once the new look is chosen, it’ll be time to adjust templates and move the original site into Joomla (because me hand-coding is just not working any more). I’m not sure how long this is all going to take, because I can’t afford to hire someone to custom make me a new template (particularly matching ones for Worpdress and Joomla), so it’s going to involve a lot of hunting and possibly a crash course in template creation. We’ll see how it goes.

Right now, between the two jobs (still doing work for the non-profit and now I’m also a census-taker, yay) and everything else, I’m going to have to prioritize. First the site gets the overhaul, then my wonderful Agnosia group will get it’s due attention.

The Agnosia Assessment Survey will find a permanent place, along with all the Agnosia information collected so far, a new slew of links on various types of Agnosia and studies that have been/are being/will be done, and some more interactive features (maybe a forum, maybe a mini-social-network, not sure the formatting yet). It might even end up with it’s own domain, but I’m not sure of that yet. It’ll depend on how things go with the updates to the existing site. And the problems back in the early part of this mess, with the new gender/age questions in the survey, will also be dealt with as soon as I can get to it.

Yes, this may all take a while, but I’m hoping that by the start of 2012 CT.com will look much better, be easier to navigate, become a legitimate informational source on certain issues important to me, and just be 10 times cooler than ever before.

And I haven’t even started looking into how to integrate my recent addition of Tumblr.

There’s a lot to do, and not a lot of time to do it in. But I promise I’ll get around to it all. In the mean time, I’m also getting a lot closer to finishing my new pseudo-self-help book, “The Way Into a Stubborn Bitch’s Heart.” So that will also take some time, some focus, and a little more space on this already content loaded site…

…

You know how Stubborn Bitches are bad at asking for help? If anyone can pitch in on the overhaul (particularly someone who can help with the templates creation) I will not only say please, I’ll put it in a neon sign, with glitter, and twinkle lights.

And I’ll say thank you for ages; possibly with banner ads.
