Closed until further notice

For a variety of reasons I won’t go into, this blog is not currently active. You can go to Kevin Holtsberry Dot Com for more information. Those odd people who have visited in the last few weeks might have noticed that I have been using this site to test out themes. In case you were [...]

A word about polls

I have just installed the hand dandy WP-Polls plugin. As you can see the results are to your right. Please feel free to vote. It is your right after all (OK, maybe not but still do vote if you feel like it).  Just to show how handy this thing is, I am going to embed [...]

Twitter Tools and the sideblog

I have been playing around with a new WP plugin called Twitter Tools.  I am hoping to use it as an easy way to add content to the sideblog.  After some initial problems, I think I have worked out the kinks. The basic idea is to use Twitter, Twit This, and Twitter Tools to easily [...]

Starting Fresh

I have decided to make a change.  After having used Word Press for work and in helping with my church’s website I decided to switch over for my personal blog.  I find WP easier to use and more flexible and dynamic.  Sorry MT, that is just the way it is. I also wanted to make [...]

The New, New Home Page

Well, here we are again.  After a bunch of technical issues involved in upgrading to MT 4 and my hosting company, and a short time with a Word Press blog, I have now settled her at Kevin Holtsberry Dot Com.  I basically imported all the old entries to a new blog located at the root [...]

Collected Miscellany is moving (again)

That’s right, Collected Miscellany is moving back to its original domain. For the few of you who have been reading this blog in all of its various iterations this announcement must seem a little tiring. I mean how many times can a blog change names, urls, and subject matters? What can I say? I am [...]

Changes are coming

I have mentioned this before, but I thought I would warn the few people who read this site on a regular basis that I am working on some changes to this site. As a result there might be some screwy templates or other issues. I hope to have things ready for the big announcement next [...]

Please Stand By

I apologize, once again, for the general lack of stuff around here of late. This blog has gotten so bad that someone emailed wondering if I might be better of joining a group blog where I wouldn’t have to carry the posting load! Although there have been moments where I have considered packing it in, [...]

I don't understand Google

Practically since I have been blogging – well, at least since I have been blogging on my own domain – I have experienced these weird fluctuations in Google search engine referrals. Traffic will drop and then suddenly jump without any explanation from a specific link, etc. It happened on the old Collected Miscellany site and [...]

Movable Type 4.0

After an agonizing late night and morning I have managed to upgrade to the newest version of MT. This post is a test to see that everything works. So far the interface is attractive and functional. Cross your fingers that nothing is broken. UPDATE: Having some issues but still testing. I think all the issues [...]
