Site Updates

A Little Site Maintenance...

Details: Category: Site Updates; Published on Wednesday, 07 January 2009 22:27; Hits: 175

I thought I should tidy things up a bit. The front page only has the latest articles form most of the bLog sections. I've also added in two more bLog sections: Memes and Politics and Religion (both found in the Web Logs menu in the main menu.)

I might even write more articles...

Upper Class Twit(ter) of the Year...

Ok, so I succumbed. I now have a twitter account. See the Upper Class Twit-ter box on the left side of this site...

So, I Have a LiveJournal...

This is really because I have some friends that have these LJ thingies, and I can see all (or most) of their postings this way. I've got my own site, where I do my bLogging - and that's here at DVillage, which I've had for a few years. So I'm going to continue to post here, and maybe one day there will be a way to port Joomla to LiveJournal (you can do it from WordPress, but I'm not switching again...) So, unless you know how to get Joomla entries to port over to LiveJournal, LiveJournal users will have to come here to read my entries.

Comments Have Been Restored...

Details: Category: Site Updates; Published on Tuesday, 22 July 2008 00:52; Hits: 266

Well, the ability to comment has been restored. The old comments (of which there were only a few) have not been restored.

Old Content...

Old content for DVillage is being removed form the server and slowly integrated back into the new site. If you came here looking for something that's disappeared - that's why. I'll try to get it back up online.

Look! The SIte's Been Remodeled...

Details: Category: Site Updates; Published on Friday, 06 June 2008 00:00; Written by Ken Patterson; Hits: 256

The site's been moved from the old Geeklog content management system to Joomla 1.5! As with any big change, there will be teething problems. Please let me know of anything missing of broken by emailing me through this This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .

Comments function restored...

Details: Category: Site Updates; Published on Wednesday, 29 August 2007 13:16; Written by Ken Patterson; Hits: 308

I had disabled the comments feature a while back because the site was getting spammed. I figured it was now time to reopen that capability, so feel free to comment on my insignificant little corner of the web. Registered users can submit stories if you want to...

Also, I replaced the gallery application with Gallery2 which - after considerable tweaking - works perfectly!

Some Changes...

Details: Category: Site Updates; Published on Thursday, 16 August 2007 01:05; Written by Ken Patterson; Hits: 247

If you are a regular visitor to DVillage, you will have noticed the significant change to the design of the site - it's inverted! The previous theme that I had used (and modified) isn't as friendly with the latest version of the software...

Also, a botched upgrade to Media Gallery (which wiped out the photos, but not the data structure!) has allowed me to start looking at other gallery packages...

New Amazon Store

Details: Category: Site Updates; Published on Saturday, 25 November 2006 21:00; Written by Ken Patterson; Hits: 344

Just in... Amazon webstore at DVillage. It's not like a Starbucks opening up on this corner of the internet, but it's not far off. Nope, it's going to be a grouping of things that I like - and I hope that you might like as well. If you do like the items, please purchase through this site. If you were looking for something else , please search through either this new page (convienently labled "Store" on the left) or the search box to the bottom left of this page.

Major Revamp...

DVillage is nearly 3 years old, and has gone through some evolution - as all web sites do, over time. The transition to the new DVillage content management system, powered by GeekLog, is almost complete...
