To migrate or not to migrate…

Back in admin mode before bed. One of the most important aspects of the whole mpomy things is the music litstening group. It’s not all prog, but it is all good. It should be featured much more prominently on page one. Right now it’s just a tiny link off to the side. To give the links utmost prominence, they should reside on wordpress pages, but that’s like trying to reinvent the wheel. For now, they can sit on google pages, but with something more conspicuous on the wordpress homepage.

Tragedy just struck as I was preparing to praise last.FM. I’m sitting with the mac, which is really em’s computer, which only means less prog on iTunes. So I told last.FM to play a selection from my ‘neighbors‘ (other proggers), and VanDerGraf Generator ‘Man-Erg’ came up. Brilliant! Couldn’t have done any better with the progpod. And then I closed the page. Ouch! Still, a pretty impressive musical selection.

The reason that little tale of woe is in this admin post is that I need to use all that music in the listening group to start streaming music at the site. That would take it to another level…

Settled on a theme, sorta…

The more I looked, the more I realized that I needed a conservative and straightforward look to deal with this site’s architecture. I swapped the banner for a fractal I sound about five years ago – and then ded some really amature-ish effects to the corner so you could still see my page title. You still can’t see the title very well – and that’s on every wordpress page until I change/fix. Also, although I like the fractal, it doesn’t go with the colors and look of the rest of the template. For now, I don’t care. It’s more important to have a shape I can work with. If I’m feeling ambitious, I’ll see if I can learn enough php and/or css to simply change some colors. I’d also like the titles to be sans serif also. Bottom line, it’s not perfect, but it’ll do for now. The tinkering continues.
