Meet Version 4.0 Posted November 22, 2005 at 12:00 am

You’re looking at the new ACP Studios blog. This is the fourth major rendition of my online Web-log, and it has slowly evolved from a very minimal static page to a full-blown content management system. The site is now powered entirely by WordPress, extended with a selection of plugins, and presented using my own WordPress theme, which I may release at a later date.

You’ll likely notice some cosmetic changes, but I would also like to draw your attention to some significant changes behind the scenes.

Image Gallery The site now has an image gallery powered by Gallery2. Photographs and other large images linked from blog posts will be stored in the Gallery, which can be located from the top navigation menu. You can click on an image within a blog post to go straight to a larger view with image details or you can manually browse through the Gallery from the front page.

Desktops Moved The dedicated Desktops section has been removed. The invididual entries have been converted to normal blog posts and moved to the Screenshots category.

New Permalink Structure The permalink structure has changed for blog posts. Please update any external links appropriately. The new structure is %year%/ %month%/ %day%/ %postname%/. I have created legacy redirection rules to aid the transition, but they will not be able to catch everything.

New RSS Options The location of the RSS feed has also changed. WordPress conveniently generates feeds for different content in a variety of formats. You’ll find the new RSS 2.0 feed here and linked from the footer of each page. You can also subscribe to feeds that track comments for individual posts or for the site in the general.

That’s all I can think of for now. I’ll get back to adding regular content shortly.
