I’m sure everyone here has experienced the “Internal Server Error” message. It was happening with increasing frequency both in posting new entries and making comments. I know it frustrated everyone, especially ME. Crossing my fingers now, I think we may have the worst of that behind us. There were many, many causes for it but the biggest one was resolved last night. Although my lax maintenance didn’t have anything to do with our problems, I still need to be a little more diligent on website maintenance than I have been. The blogs have grown tremendously since we started them. Number of entries, number of pictures, number of comments, number of readers, etc. It's impossible for me to sift through all of those files without a somewhat more organized system.
For this blog and the CrabAppleLane Blog, I’m going to start using FlickR for our posted pictures. I’m doing this for a few reasons but the biggest one is maintenance. Unfortunately, I only have one FlickR account. Unless you want to open your own FlickR account (If you do, I recommend you give their free account a try), send your photos and words to me with your blog password and I’ll be happy to post them for you. I can do a few cool things now. For instance, look at the picture below. Click here to enlarge.
We now have a great deal more space for pictures and I’ve only scratched the surface on the possibilities. Please do not feel like you’re imposing on me by sending your stuff to me. This is my preference. It will make my maintenance easier.
This will not affect any other kind of non-picture posting.
Robbie, the other picture looked the same size to me. Also, to be clear, if we want to post pictures we need to send them to you first?
Yeah, I needed to do that a little differently. I put a link there to make it easier. See where it says "Click here to enlarge".
Yes, if you want to post pictures, send them to me with whatever descriptions you want to add. If you have a FlickR account, you can post directly. If you want to open one that, I'll be happy to help.
