I’m shopping around for an FTP client / HTML editor for the iPad, ahead of the bus tour I’m embarking on during the week; it’d be nice to make use of my extensive bus time and get some work done!
So far, the front runner seems to be an app called “FTP on the go”. Functionality seems reasonably comprehensive and the reviews are good. Anybody have any horror stories and/or counter-recommendations they’d like to share?
Plenty of useful tips on the excellent CSS Tricks blog lately. If you don’t know it, you should really check it out!
A documentary from 1985, profiling Wynton Marsalis. I’d seen some of this in a shorter piece used on The Late Show on the BBC in the early ’90s. Nice to see the whole thing – 50+ minutes altogether.
I’m in the process of switching webhosts this weekend – moving from my old reseller hosting, which I rarely resell, to a new package on MediaTemple. I used this site as a test for moving WordPress sites from one to the other, and everything seemed to go smoothly. I transferred the files, got the database imported and switched nameservers on the domain last night before I went to bed.
This morning, when I checked the site, I was greeted with a blank page. The problem, it turned out, was that I had the Database Host set incorrectly in my wp-config file. MediaTemple is the first host I’ve used where the default of ‘localhost’ didn’t work. What you need to use is the ‘Internal DB Hostname’ – you’ll find it in your (mt) account settings.
Thought I’d blog it – partly as a reminder to me and partly in case anybody else meets the same issue.
The site may be screwy this weekend – I’ll be switching web host. If I’m not too busy, I may well have a little redesign too! We’ll see…. Hopefully disruption should be kept to a minimum.
