This wordpress system has been online for just over a week now and I am starting to make it home. I’m sorting out pages and the content to go in them one by one. I’ll just keep reworking the text until I’m happy with it. Instead of having a just a site for news letting you know how the server is going and about down time, that since the Cron stuff the server has been online nearly all the time. The pages are about hosting as that is one of my goals yet to be achieved and my portfolio. The other goals where central file sortage and printing hub that I have manged to achieve this week. I have changed the look of the site to the K2 theme with it’s clean ans shape lines similar to my own personal site. One way you can tell if I am making a system for the masses more “homely” is when I go and edit the code. It’s a small change and I think many wouldn’t notice the difference but I have added a favicon to the site. This is the little “JB” in a blue square next to the URL or title if you are using tabs. I may make more changes to the server as I go along or find modifications that I like, we shell see.
Print server
When I installed debain, a print server was one of the options I selected along with the other stuff like file and web (which I ended up installing some parts manually). After following some guides and mucking around with my laptop, desktop and server I have managed to get the print server working with my HP Photosmart P1000 with my desktop and laptop. Panther on the otherhand didn’t want to play ball so it’s not using the print server but because it’s so close to the printer I could just get a USB cable for it. Tomorrow when I return from school I will set up the other two XP machines to be able to print to it. I might even sort out my laptop so I can print from out and about but I doupt I will.
Systems up.
I have put my web server online so you don’t have to use a subdomain to get there. I am testing out the word press system as I may be intrested in incoperating it into my current website. This would make it easy to edit and post. I wouldn’t have to be on my network to blog since I would be able to do it over the internet but I am like graham and some of my other friends in the fact that I like to build the system myself instead of relaying on someone else because I feel like I need to prove to myself that I can do it. My web browser supports bloging systems like word press. I don’t know if I will copy this into my normaly blog or end up with two running together or as seperate identitys.
