In one of the most significant maintenance sessions in its almost two-year history, wildoxgib.com has had an under-the-radar overhaul that was well-past its due date. Complete nerdery possessed me on my lunch break the "IT support department" and the following cool stuff has been accomplished:-

1. Updated platform: Wordpress, the blogging platform that I use (sweet!), has been updated to version WO2.1.2. (Yes I know, that was released a LONG time ago!).
2. A new “Feed on this” icon on the right sidebar now provides easy access to the blog's RSS feed in case you want to subscribe using a feed-reader like Google reader.
3. The photos, page and coComments page are up and running again. Unbeknown to me they were not functional for quite some time. “coComments”, by the way, is a neat tool that track all of the comments that I leave on other blogs, and displays them so that you can track what I am saying in the Blogosphere.
4. My contact details have been removed from the “contact” page and I now have a neat online form that you can fill-out and submit. I have had enough of spammers obtaining my email details via the old contact information.
5. All of the site feeds now load using “Feedburner” a service that allows me to monitor my subscribers from a central web page.
6. A “Donate” button on the left side bar now connects this function to my Pay Pal account – (Because the man has bills to pay)...so ...click and give, click and give!
7. A cute little icon of me now appears beside the URL (Web address) – sorry Annabelle, I had to do this.

The maintenance has proved pretty painless up to now. If you find any broken links, or pictures that are missing, or if anything does not work, please let me know and I shall immediately notify Tech Support. Technorati Tags: Wordpress, Blogging, Nerdery
