No CommentsFinally! (Warning! Geek Speak Alert!)
Posted in: Site News
So after much pfaffing about, I finally have the new design live.
I was pulling my hair out trying to get things working, constantly making tiny changes and then FTPing them to the server. I was so sick of it that today I finally installed WAMP here and WordPress on that machine.
Talk about time saving, all coding complete and tested within 3 hours. Few tweaks to the graphics and I was done!
So with the hard part over, all I had to do was upload via FTP and change to the new Kitty Loves Japan Template, sort out the placement of a few Widgets and their content, and voila!
In other great news, the Shop is almost ready to go back online – I’ve downloaded and installed eShop for WordPress, and hope to have it all working as I want by the end of next weekend. It’s also a good process to learn for potential clients, as most carts are simply too excessive for the small business that only wants to upload a new product every other week!
I’m really looking forward to your feedback about the design

No CommentsThe reason for no posts in the past little while, is that the bandwidth for my internet connection at home has been throttled.
Basically, living in Australia – broadband means you get really OK speeds (nothing like you get in Japan or North America) until you use your pitiful allotted quota of bandwidth for the month, and then you are slapped hard on the wrist with a wet wooden ruler and your internet speed is cut back to that of a 1992 modem.
You may think I joke, but I do not. I have been unable to view photos on Flickr, read my favourite websites or even simply watch a single YouTube video. It’s been a LOLcat free zone and for that reason alone I hate how Broadband is metered out here in Australia.
I actually have spent the time a little productively. I have around 100 photos to upload to flickr, not all Blythe related (mostly cars actually), a new website design for a client to go live and a new design in the works for here, as promised.
This site will commence to be mirrored at Pixelkitty.net as well, because it’s the longest running domain name I’ve ever owned, and I feel I’m neglecting it.
Check back next week for updates, photos and pretty colours.

2 CommentsIn the Midst of Re-design Mess
Posted in: Site News
This is a bit of techno-babble to explain why the site looks a bit weird.
Since I moved domains, and changed the layout to a magazine-based look, retention dropped from a lovely 82% to a soul-destroying 38%.
My site ranking has dropped from a safe 6 to a complete zero.
So, I’ll be changing the design back to a standard-ish weblog format, that you all seem more comfortable with. Should be finished by the end of the weekend!
And for all you geeks out there, if you are interested in tracking your website stats in detail, you really should be using Google Analytics. It’s free, and it’s incredibly detailed.
