I’m realizing that Twitter has given my blog a new lease on life. Making my tweets display on the front page definitely keeps the blog more on my mind since I use twitter and twitterific heavily these days. Pondering a Library Monk redesign now, but I have lots of other projects on the to-do list … Read more
Updated Library Monk to WordPress 2.5 The backend is very different. I especially like the automatic plugin updating feature. That caused me to update a few really old versions of plugins I was using. Also added my tweets from Twitter on the main page. More later..
Those of you out there you read this blog, (all five of you) may wonder why postings here are infrequent. That’s because I dedicate most of my time to Annoyed Librarian. That’s right I am the Annoyed Librarian! And so are Karen and Jason. I am Spartacus… err Annoyed Librarian! The movement is spreading!

Changes to this site went pretty well, my other projects didn’t turn out as planned. In attempting to integrate Stephanie’s blog and photo gallery … Read more
The CSS is still a bit convoluted, but thanks to some help from Matt I was able to clean things up a bit. I’ve also made the site readable in Netscape 4.x Amazingly I was able to get Netscape Communicator 4.8 to run on my machine. As I’ve said before Netscape 4.x is a horrible … Read more
Visually I like the new look, but the CSS behind the site is pretty complex, I’m sure it’s more complex than it needs to be. There are lots of fixes in there for browser bugs/CSS glitches. http://www.librarymonk.com/wp-content/themes/monastery/style.css Most of these fixes are for browsers that very few people still use. I’d rather the content be … Read more
