Ruralocity Blog

I got rid of a few old posts that really didn’t have to do with the foci I’m trying to apply to this blog. Nothing big, and I didn’t delete any of the small handful of comments I’ve received here–so, no harm, no foul? (Sorry, I’ve been watching basketball most of the day.)

As is well documented, I am not very good at keeping up with the whole blog thing. This morning I starting wondering if it had to do with the extra baggage of signing into WordPress’ admin section. So I’m trying out a blogging program–in this case, MarsEdit. We’ll see how it goes.
So far, I like […]

Today’s a snow day–six inches fell on Lawrence overnight and KU actually closed campus. In my four-plus years as a student there they didn’t close campus once. This winter alone I think it’s been closed twice.
Anyway, so I decided to spend my time at home on a little professional development. I decided to tackle a […]

Last time, I swear–my flyers collection is now here:
flyers.ruralocity.com
I thought they deserved their own look and feel. I’d done the basic layout awhile back, and being kind of sick from insomnia this week left me only good for brain-dead content migration–so I was able to finish the transfer. Everything’s been deleted from the old Flyers […]

I hate this blog. I let it get too unfocused. When time permits (which may be awhile) I’m going to revisit and do some cleanup. I want it to be more portfolio-oriented. Nobody cares what I have to say about the iPhone, anyway, right?

With a small stack of recent flyers, and a brand new scanner on my desk, I decided to revisit my little pet project–a few acid-free portfolios’ worth of flyers promoting upcoming concerts, ripped from bulletin boards and telephone posts throughout Lawrence, Kansas City, and Seattle over the past 15-plus years. OK, so I lost a […]

I felt the need to make this site look a little more blog-like today, with enhancements such as putting the sidebar on the side of the page, of all places. I still need to fix the width of the pages with no sidebar. You know me, I love to tinker–this will be a work in […]

Sunflower’s doing their best to thwart me from it (our Internet connection has been down more than up today) but I’m working on the official Ruralocity theme for WordPress. I’m doing things piecemeal. Things will look weird, but I’m the only one reading this thing anyway–so no harm, no foul. If you happen to stop […]

I’ve had a new blog in the works at ruralocity.com for several months now. After obsessing with WordPress themes, layouts, colors, and so on, I get tired of it. So I’m trying something new–instead of working to make it pretty I’m going to work on the content for awhile. And here we go–just the basic […]
