Brawling

November 6, 2020

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.

Freshwater Perches & Darters

Percidae is the second largest family of fishes in North America, after Cyprinidae (Minnows). They are not related to saltwater Perches, which they superficially resemble.

Darter

Darters are diminutive perches that inhabit quiet or slowly flowing waters. They swim in hops and spurts, mainly just sitting on the bottom as they search for the small invertebrates on which they feed. The Tessellated Darter Etheostoma olmstedi ( right, to 4.5" ) is the commonest in the area. Many midwestern species are brightly colored, but we are not so lucky, all of ours are drab.
