Brawling

Well, it's that time of year again, time to renew the web hosting. And for those of you that don't know, that has become a lot more expensive than it used to be. Fifty dollars a year is now several hundred. Not to mention the price of domain names has gone up ten-fold.

And I just found out that the nice folks at PayPal disabled all my Support buttons, and I never got a notice (although that may be my fault.) In any case, it is all working again now, so if you would like to make a small donation to help defray these costs, it would be greatly appreciated.

I had a knock-down-drag-out brawl with WordPress over how it should work - the way it wants, or the way I want. I won. The back-end editor is now almost WYSIWYG, and the front end is behaving much better as well.

In addition, between some features I have discovered and some things I am forcing it to do against its will, I think WordPress can now do all the styling and niceties of the old html site.

The site is slowly transforming into a true database - I can slice and dice the entries in many different ways, and the whole thing is also searchable.
