WordPress handles security differently from Joomla! which means all of our posts and pages were publicly viewable from the time I migrated to WordPress until now. I found a plugin that requires you to log in before you can even see the home page! That’s even better than Joomla!’s solution in my opinion. I had looked at all of the built-in options and found that marking a post as “Private” really wasn’t a good solution since all of the pages were still visible. I also found that an unauthenticated user browsing to the home page could still see a list of posts. I found some snippets of code that I could edit into each and every page but that seemed impractical, tedious, and extremely time consuming given the number of pages at work behind the scenes within WordPress. Thanks to Google, the WordPress community, and the Open Source mind set, we now have a family site that requires you to log in before you ca壯陽藥

Yet Another Server Upgrade… With More To Come
I just finished migrating the entire family web site from the Joomla 1.5.x platform over to the WordPress platform. I have been playing with the WordPress software for quite some time now and find it has features and benefits that everyone should be able to make use of. If you are a family member and you are logged in, you should be able to add a post – including pictures – if you so desire. I’m working on a new shared family calendar but I don’t have that going just yet. I’ll keep you posted.
Also coming down the line is a migration from the existing single-core, Fedora 13 64-bit server to a “new” dual-core, Fedora 14 64-bit server. I hope to have that migration completed by the end of this week.
Happy posting!

Server Upgrade
Hello all!
I thought you might like to know that I have finished an upgrade to the server and have finished migrating the web site software (Joomla!) from the older version to the new stable version. Our family web site is now running ona 64 bit serverwith Fedora 13 Linux; hopefully this will translate into a faster web site and fewer errors when you try to add or edit an article. Do let me know if you have any trouble with the upgraded site!

Photo Gallery Move Completed!
Over the past several weeks, I have been working on moving my Photo Gallery site from my test server onto my production server – that move is now officially complete!
To move the gallery I had to take the test site down, install and configure the gallery software on the server, then I had to import the database and photo directories from the test site into the new site. After moving everything to the new server, I had to process all of the pictures again to re-register them in the database tables, a process that took over 22 hours by itself! The site move should be complete now and, hopefully, I won’t have to do anything nearly as drastic with the site for some time to come. You might want to update your link to the gallery if you had it bookmarked, there are also two ways to get to the gallery now: you can browse to it directly at https://andy.crazedtechs.com/gallery/main.php or you can click on the “Photo Gallery” button on the left there to view the gallery embedded in this site. I hope you enjoy the pictures!
It would also be a good idea to create a user account for the gallery site or this site (the two sites synchronize user accounts on a given schedule, so creating an account on one will eventually and automatically create an account on the other). A user account will have access to more albums and other resources than an unregistered user.
