It’s been a couple of busy late nights here for me. I’ve been doing major work with my websites, including this one. The last two months have been rough for thingelstad.com. There has been a lot of downtime and slow responses. I moved to TextDrive (no link for these guys) a while …

If you notice anything not working, please leave a comment to this post so I can get it fixed.

Recently a friend of mine did some research on search terms that people used to get to his site. I was inspired to do some …
Keep reading · 2 minutes: Searches Reaching My SiteI recently bit the bullet and migrated my ancient DotText (.Text) blog to WordPress. It wasn’t painless, and involved writing some code, but I’m exceedingly happy with WordPress and finally feel like I’m on a modern blogging platform again. I considered for months and months …
