AZBay.net latest announcements

Theme finalized

After several theme changes, I have have closed my site's theme down. Layout changes may come but the theme is set for now.

Gallery dies… again.

Yes, our gallery has died, again.  This time I jumped the gun and wiped out the gallery without a backup (STUPID!).

Howdy! Welcome to AZBay.net, a site put up by Dave & Jen Chandler for our news, photos and other junk. You can contact and if you're looking for anything you can't find or have comments.

Make sure you check out the photo gallery, we have pictures of people, places, travels, nature, pets and most recently kids.

One last complaint…

…and I'm done for the day. So you're aware I'm working with the beta ecto and I have a complaint to voice. Guess what? It's nothing to do with ecto (I think?) but Drupal. So here's a blog flogging for Drupal's Technorati module. Why when I post with ecto does some technorati tag called array always pop up? I haven't figured it out yet. I have no freaking idea actually.

I never add tags aside from the categories that I choose so maybe I need to reconfigure. We'll check.

More test posts to come.

Yea, it works.

So as you can see below it actually worked. You really have no idea how long I've wanted the functionality of adding images to my posts. It's not really that hard either (I used to do it with my old geeklog powered blog, now we're talking oldschool).

Anyway, enough of the really useless posting. Although I must say I'm pretty proud to have an ultrasound of my son flipping me off. How many of you out there can say that you have a picture of your child doing something like that in the womb? LOL!

Chandler… out!

First try with flickr.com integration…

…ok, so ecto 3 has integration with flikr.com. What does this mean? It means that I should be able to include photo's in my posts like I've wanted to for sooooo long. So without adieu, here's my son, giving us the bird in the womb (yes, we now know he's a Chandler!).

Sean and the middle finger.

That tiny little arm is indeed in a tiny fist with "The Finger" up. Now how's that for learning quick how to let people know you're not photo ready?

ecto 3

Finally, a new version of ecto, well a beta at least. I'm currently typing this on the new beta 3 of ecto. Some of the new features? 3rd party add-ons which should allow for highly customized posting. A new Leopard UI that really follows the Apple human interface guidelines, or at least attempts to (the older versions didn't at all).

Why I hate Internet Explorer…

…wow, let me count the ways! I could actually go on and on all day about IE and why I hate it. The lack of features is enough to really turn me off the product, but when I was admiring the new theme for the site today, using Safari 3 of course, I noticed how really nice the site looks. The theme itself validates XHTML 1.0 Strict, although my site doesn't because of some poor programming in a few of the modules I use (I hope to rectify this soon). So it should look basically the same on all browsers, but of course it doesn't. Why does it look good in Safari?
