Web site changes

I’ve made a couple of changes to my site.  As you can probably see, I have added my twitter feed to my front page.  I’ve done this because I don’t post to my main blog as much as I used to – I post my thoughts to Twitter (which then automatically get copied to my main web site and Facebook).  I will probably reserve my traditional posts for longer posts.  It was not a simple tasks to intermingle Twitter posts within the WordPress loop, but I eventually got it to work with some sloppy code.   The posts are cached and updated every 30 minutes.

I also am trialing my web site back on a Windows server (previously it was on Linux).  I’m doing this to consolidate web hosts, and hosting on Windows gives me most stuff on Linux as well as ASP.NET.  I generally prefer Linux hosting when .NET isn’t needed, however, this will save me time and money.

There will be bugs with the new setup, but I’ll take care of them as I see them.  I see my Flickr feed isn’t updating, which is probably a permission issue (curse Windows permissions!).  I’ll work on that.
