Technical Glitches
May 27, 2005
Every now and then I seem to have "one of those days". And usually "one of those days" involves lots and lots of technical glitches.
Yesterday was one of those days. I was working on my new blog about blogging (it's almost ready to go live) and in the middle of making changes to my theme, I get a 404 not found error. My entire site had disappeared! Gulp. (It came back.)
Must have been a glitch in the system. At any rate, since I was working on another website too, I changed gears from "php mode" and jumped into regular html mode. More glitches. Several CSS references paged/surfed through later, I figured it out.
I need to upload an .htaccess file for this particular site, because I'm moving servers and figured I'd clean up a few things while I'm at it, and switch over to SSIs as well. No technical glitches on this so far, but I've emailed my host just to make sure everything is configured to support permanent redirects.
On the bright side, I decided not to spend money on a simple "does-one-thing, but-does-it-well" web header program, and instead plunged back into Photoshop. And actually created a header for my new blogging about blogging site that I like! So even with all the wasted moments (let me tell you, there were quite a few of them) it still felt like I'd accomplished a lot.
If you're looking for a header program but dont't want to spend a lot of money, here's the one I was looking at: Alpha Button. I downloaded the trial and played with it (you can create the headers but they are severely watermarked until you plug in the registration code, which you purchase for $49.99). I almost bought it, because it does do one thing (two, actually: headers and buttons) extremely well.
