I’ve been fooling around with web development for quite some time, but I’ve never been all that serious about it. I wrote a photo gallery plugin for WordPress in PHP, but I didn’t really know what I was doing. This evening I’ve been working on the AJAX portion of my plugin and I finally decided […]

phpBB spam problem
For another project, I run a simple bulletin board using phpBB. Over the past several months it’s basically been unusable due to spam. I think the bots are able to defeat the standard captcha that phpBB provides. I tried a number of solutions (increased requirements for posting, hidden fields, reducing the reward for spamming, etc.), […]
New web host
Although things were going OK with GoDaddy as my web host, I decided to switch over to Dreamhost. The migration seems to have gone basically OK, though with the limited upload speed of my cable modem, the file upload will take over 20 hours. Transferring the databases and changing the name servers was easy to […]
Photo album now allows commenting on pictures
One of my projects is a WordPress plug-in called Lazy-K Gallery, which runs the photo album on this site. I just released a new version, and now you can comment on each photo in my gallery. Maybe one of these days I’ll get around to adding some more photos.
#1 on Google!
Alright, I finally got this site to the number 1 spot on Google- well, when you search for “Korey Atterberry”, that is. I had some old sites out there that were getting the top results, so I had to get rid of them. I also had to put in the meta-tag keywords on this site […]
Breadcrumb trail
Tonight I added a “Breadcrumb Trail” to most of my pages. If you’re not familiar with that term, it basically means a list of what pages you’ve visited. In this case, it shows the title of the page you’re on along with its parent page, its parent’s parent page, and so forth. The point is […]
New subscription options
Do you find my site so entertaining that you want to be notified immediately when something new has been added? I’ve got just the thing for you. If you visit the Subscribe tab above, you can sign up to be emailed whenever something new is posted. All you have to do is enter your email […]
Joined LiveJournal
Well, I finally jumped on the bandwagon and started a LiveJournal account. I’m not going to blog there in any real way, but some of the social networking features are kind of neat. You can use it to find blogs of people who went to your high school, share an interest in camping, etc. Having […]
New links
I’m doing some basic updates, so I added links to a few LiveJournal people (Tweets95, Dante8, Wyoming_1) who wouldn’t admit to knowing me if asked. I have empirical evidence that at least one of them has seen my website, and they post a lot more than I do, so visit them if you’re bored with […]
WordPress 2.0.1 installed
Well, I took the leap and installed the new version 2.0.1 version of WordPress. It mostly went OK, but unfortunately it broke my photo album (i.e. the only thing worth looking at). Thankfully it’s my own album so I just have a little debugging to do. I hope to have it back online soon. Update: […]
