wplogo Well, maybe not the Titanic. But this website (actually all my websites) were moved to a new server yesterday, and this one had some major problems.

I actually had to delete the whole thing and reload it from scratch. New code, new database, new version of WordPress, everything. And the fact that – as far as I can tell – all the content is still here, effortlessly imported from backups, is a gleaming example of why WordPress rocks.

“Font Conference”

This video wasn’t “long enough” so they “made it double spaced.”  This is like Monty Python for writers and publishers … or anyone who works a lot with documents and fonts.   Good stuff!

I’m really moving right along with progress on my current novel, and have discovered a wonderful feature on Google Maps that is an ultimate writing research tool:  Google Maps StreetView.  I can actually zoom in on some of the places I’ve set my novel, and see everything from the street level. 

Awesome.
