Wow, when I get started, I get going.

Cleaned up old posts that were linking to images on my www.stevienova.com site, and uploaded the pictures to the posts themselves.

Created sub pages on my blog to match the pages I had on www.stevienova.com

Right now, all I have on stevienova is my music that I recorded, and some images that I use for other places I have stuff (myspace backgrounds, etc)

I think I am just going to use stevienova.com for any ASP.NET web applications that I write or want to prototype, etc.

Back when I converted to ASP.NET (Nov 2005), There wasn’t a Web Application option, just Web Site, so my site was all jacked with precompiled assemblies and what not. Just decided to blow it away and clean it up.

And another thing, I had the style sheet from my old blog on those pages. By making sub pages under my blog, they just inherit my current blog theme – talk about easy.

Now, I just need to redirect 404’s to my blog, but my control panel is being a pain, so that is the next thing.

Last night I played around with a blog widget to actually play My Music as a radio station on the blog sidebar, but I wasn’t liking it, so I decided not to put that up.

And now that I have everything “configured” how I like it, what did I do? A backup of course, using the method I blogged about a couple days ago. 🙂

So I went through all 400+ and some posts and categorized them a little better, into a smaller list.

It is funny because I always catch hell from Aaron about how I should have two blogs. It looks like my posts are split 50/50

In the process of organizing my categories, I ran across a nice Ajaxy plugin for the “Manage Posts” screen in WordPress called WP-Cats. It really cut down on the time spent categorizing, I would recommend this to anyone who wants to recategorize their posts.

Well, I did some cleanup tonight. I deleted all my categories. I had way too many, like 400. And it was goofing up some things. I will probably find some auto technorati tag generator instead of using categories. I will probably try to limit my categories to 10 to 15 at most. The list was huge!! Took me a while to get it cleaned up. In the process, I was trying to find some plugins to do the dirty work, found a few that didn’t seem to work exactly how I wanted. One thing, I couldn’t find a single plugin to “delete all categories”. Weird.

Rule #1 of blogging – tag/categorize your posts!! And now my blog is totally uncategorized. Probably totally screwed my search engine status on things, but oh well, life goes on, and I couldn’t stand the huge list of categories I had going on.

BTW, I changed my theme again, some reason my new one got jacked , the sidebar was messed, and I kind of like this new theme.

BTW2, I am writing this from Windows Live Writer. I had a post up previously, but thought that was the culprit of the sidebar jackedupness so I deleted it (rule #2 of blogging, don’t delete posts :)) – Anyways, I deleted another post from a while ago I didn’t with Word 2007, since the timestamp was 1969, and I couldn’t change it for some reason, and since my dad was a few years out of high school in 1969, I don’t think I would be blogging that year…well, maybe if was born I would have been 🙂
