Switch to WordPress
Saturday, May 22nd, 2004Never one to stick with the same software for too long, I’ve switched the blog from Textpattern to WordPress. WordPress has been creating a tremendous amount of buzz the past few days after the big MovableType 3.0 Licensing changes came out. Initially, I had looked into WordPress for my blog, but the software seemed to [...]
Friends
Tuesday, May 4th, 2004This site was taking too long to load (each page is dynamically generated by the server), so I moved the “Friends” listing from the left column of the front page to the “About” page. Hopefully everything will be a little bit more responsive (the front page takes about 1/2 as much time to load now).
ieCapture
Saturday, May 1st, 2004Daniel Vine came up with a remote browser-testing service so that those of us without Windows PC’s can test to make sure our websites look ok. I checked this webpage out and while it’s not necessarily the prettiest thing (I forgot how horrible font handling was in Internet Explorer), it at least works. Update: I [...]

UThink
Saturday, April 3rd, 2004UThink: Blogs at the University Libraries is a new project by the University of Minnesota to offer unlimited free blogs to all staff/students/faculty. The system is easy to configure and get started—just login with your x500 and give them a title/tagline for your blog. For example, I got one setup in under 5 minutes or [...]
QotD: Questions of the Day?
Saturday, April 3rd, 2004Question: Is this question of the day format too geeky for me to continue using? My answer, I think it’s mostly just an easy excuse for me to have content without coming up with anything original. I don’t really understand the target audience of my blog (friends from/high school college). So what do you want [...]
Xanga’s Cramping my Style
Thursday, March 18th, 2004Well I can’t really deal with Xanga anymore. It just doesn’t have the flexibility that I was looking for. So with that said, I’m proud to introduce my new blog: http://www.bfroehle.com/
RSS
Thursday, March 18th, 2004I’d like to also take this time to introduce all of you to a thing called RSS (Really Simple Syndication). Essentially you can get a free RSS Reader which every so often (ie: hourly) checks a bunch of news feeds (ie: each one of the blogs you read) and alerts you when there are updates. [...]
New Features: About / Photos
Thursday, February 5th, 2004A couple new features today. First off I added an about page (with a link that works!) so y’all can find out more than you ever wanted to know about me. It also conveniently includes my PGP key so you are covered if you need to send me a very private email. I’ll add a [...]
Xanga Posts Merged
Tuesday, January 20th, 2004I took the time today to add all of the old Xanga posts to this blog, including all of the comments! So now you have the additional features of searching and categories!
