Site Technical Notes
This site officially began posting on July 1, 2007. This page will chronicle "site technical notes".
Release Notes
- 2009.04.15: Added "Guestbook" and posted to "About this Site" and Main Page.
- 2009.04.16: Added "comment" capability for all new posts and select pages. I should have done this a lot sooner, but it took me a while to deal with giving up total control of content. I also am worried nobody will post anything, and that probably won't look very good.
- 2009.04.13: Enhanced right column "Images" section. Now has bold link to main gallery index page as well as links to featured galleries. Also, created new galleries with "best of" images.
- 2009.04.12: Converted all prior image galleries to blog-embedded flash slideshows with play feature or user-controlled click throughs. Redirected all galleries formerly hosted on Apple Country Photography to Apple Country Living. See Apple Country Photo Galleries.
- 2009.04.01: Added slideshow feature for multiple image posts. Only the lead story will be an auto-running show, while all other stories will be user-controlled click throughs. The site uses SoundSlides Plus.
- 2009.04.01: I am renewing my commitment to regular posts of area news and events. Expect to see more photos and area information than in the recent past.
- 2009.04.01: Most all posts will have large 600 pixel width images. I am trying to make the site more visually appealing. I edited many of the previous posts to increase image resolution of some of the better images.
- 2008.12.31: I upgraded the Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) by making a 3-D border for images as well as turning on link highlights.
- 2008.07.08: Site was renamed from Stow Musings to Apple Country Living to reflect a larger geographic coverage area.
- 2008.05.01: Site was moved from Google's Blogspot to my own host and upgraded to Movable Type 4. Layout templates and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) were written and the site gained a new clean design.
- 2007.07.04: Blog is created on Google's Blogspot. Site is called Stow Musings.
