All Narfed Up photography and words by Bryan Villarin

Site


AllNarfedUp.com in the house

So, I’ve switched the blog from blogged.btvillarin.com to allnarfedup.com. If you’re reading this from your RSS reader, you shouldn’t notice any problem. I changed the URL in my FeedBurner account. I’ve also installed Matt’s no-www plugin, which makes my site Class B validated (and I don’t know what that means, but it sounds good to [...]

Slight site tweaks

I added a status page and reordered the navigation links [on your right] to be in alphabetical order - I was tired of numbering them manually.

Forums aren’t down

Along with the server move, I deemed it extraneous to keep the forum up. I haven’t seen activity in there in a long time, so I didn’t see the point in it. If I get a lot of requests to create some again, I’ll be more than happy to reinstall a forum script again. I [...]

Pingbacks work!

Pingbacks didn’t seem to work with my previous host, but they are now! Thank you, AncientHosting! Shoot, I have to put a link to them here. *rushes off to find the image*

Host move complete

I’m on the new server. Reason: To reiterate, I’m getting hooked up with this. That’s all!

Moving hosts

This is pretty huge. I’ll be moving hosts to my friend’s server, Eric, at Ancient Hosting. That’ll be in a few days. You shouldn’t notice anything out of the ordinary - I hope. However, his server isn’t managed by cPanel, so things might a bit tough for me in the transition. We’ll see how it [...]

Harsh ban removed

I retweaked through the robots.txt files just now. I think everything is banned from my whole site, except my forums and blog. From those, I believe I only have Googlebot-Images banned from select folders that contain images.

All bots banned

Update: Harsh ban removed
For those search engine bots and whatever else obeys robots.txt, I’ve disallowed access to my whole server. I’ll do this for a month, to clear the cache, then re-enable access (except for any image directories). I’ll be better with this stuff in the future.

Cron job change

Note to self: Using wget for the cron job to check /wp-admin/update-links.php hourly, rather than GET from the last server. It’s to keep my blogroll updated with the latest update times.

Finally normal?

Update 2: Rob replied to my post in his forums…
Although our eMail was working just fine, DNS Report said “it could not connect” which was true. That site had been temporary blocked as, for whatever reason, too many attempts were made using DNS Report to check our site. The Server thought it was an eMail [...]
