For some time now, I have been unhappy with look and feel of this site and you may have noticed that I seem to be changing the format every week. Well, here’s what behind that:
I want to make this site my CMS portal. However, that means finding and sticking with a theme (format) for this site that allows me to collect in one place the links of my existing web presence. It also means learning more about WordPress code than I had planned. For example, if you look at the site tabs you’ll see: Home, BillA1’s JL Animated Fan Fiction, About Me and Contact. What you don’t know is how difficult it was for me to find the right bit of code to make the fan fiction site appear and send the user to that website without using a html refresh or JavaScript.
Also, I plan to change my web host in February 2010 to someone a little more robust than my current host. I need multiple databases and my current provider can’t do it. Finally, in February, my primary site will be wsash.com instead of the current wsash.net. It’s a minor change, but emblematic of how I will proceed in 2010.
Long story short – there is a method to the constant madness so just bear with me.

ETA: On 26 Oct 09, in an attempt to “improve” the site – I broke it. After about two hours of hair pulling I have restored 95% of the site. Yes I know I was supposed to back up the database yesterday and I didn’t. No salt is necessary. But as I was not too gently reminded this evening by a friend, “The price of progress: broken code.” I think today I have figured that part out.
