It’s time for some WordPress site development updates this morning. The categories page now has both monthly and category archives that will just continue to update with counts going forward. I don’t have a search box on any of the standard content pages. The 404 page has a search box, top content, and the monthly and category archive drop downs. I figured that having a search box on that page was rather harmless and mostly useful for somebody who was looking for a page that no longer exists. I have unlocked the previously private content posts from December 2021 to current. That means 281 posts are currently unlocked and 2,189 need to be released at some point.
Generally speaking that previously available and now private content is available within internet archives so making it available here is not novel or all that interesting. I am trying to be careful when converting content over so that it does not cause the fresh content email and notifications to go out to everybody. That would be an annoying number of notification pings and weblog related emails.
That was a lot of weblog related updates to share for a Sunday morning. I’m pretty sure my tinkering with the new weblog deployment is going to slow down shortly. Even a brand new theme deployment only requires so much tinkering to get it into a serviceable condition for go forward weblog delivery. I had some time to engage in tinkering yesterday during the course of watching two NFL games and the Colorado Avalanche playing hockey into overtime. Watching sports and tinkering on my MacBook Air M3 has been working out well enough. I do strongly prefer to work on a 38 inch monitor, but that is not the only way to get things done. It’s just the most productive.
My current setup includes a FlexiSpot standing desk with an AWMS-2-BT75-FS model monitor stand from ATDEC. Both computer screens hardly move or wiggle during the transition from sitting to standing. They don’t shake during the typing process either which is a vitally important consideration. Both monitors are 38 inch Dell UltraSharp curved screen units and they are VESA mounted to the ATDEC monitor stand. The stacked deployment offers a lot of screen real estate for getting work done. They are plugged into a Dell WD22TB4 Thunderbolt 4 docking station by USB-C and that is how via a single USB-C cable the entire desktop setup can be swapped between computers.
