The Changes

So, you might have noticed some changes in the way the site is laid out. Or maybe you didn’t, who knows? Anyway, to tell you a bit about what’s going on, I have moved my blog from the sub-directory of /blog/ to root. I wanted all my blog post permalinks to stay the same though, so I added /blog/ to the custom permalink structure. This makes more sense to me for the next thing I did.

I wanted a static homepage and for blog posts to appear on the page /blog/. I assumed when I tested this that the permalinks would then be /blog/whatever/structure/i-want/. This wasn’t the case. It was using mikeschepker.com/permalinks. I figured since blog posts would appear on a page that the permalinks would have that page in it’s structure. That is why I had to add /blog/ to it. I think it makes more sense to do it that way as well. Why have a page for blog posts but not have that page in the permalinks?

The static homepage was not created by me. My good super-awesome friend Kristin built and styled it for me. I just gave her the general idea of what i wanted. Big shout outs to her for be the most awesome chica I know.

The projects page is no longer around, instead you can go to my home page and look at the categories to find the websites, scholarly works, and WordPress works. The feed problem of not redirecting /blog/feed to mikeschepker.com/feed/ seems to have fixed itself because both are redirecting properly. How? I have no clue. I’ll keep an eye on it to see if it breaks. Let me know if anything is broken and I will try and fix it.

Thanks again Kristin!
