Changes and Upgrades
Jan 16th
Well, there have been a few changes to the site today.
First, the WordPress engine has been upgraded to the latest version. This upgrade has been a long time coming, but hadn’t been applied yet due to incompatibility with certain plugins. If you’re interested in details of the upgrade, you can view a quick video in the link below. Its mostly back end changes that make my life easier, but hey, who doesn’t want to make my life easier, right?
Next bit of news, the Forums have been retired/removed/not there anymore. Now this shouldn’t be a surprise as I’d explained how I planned to remove them a couple of weeks back. I just want to say that the people at SimplePress have made a wonderful forums plugin, but when it came down too it, however, the forums were simply no longer useful for this site.
But what happened to all the cool stuff we talked about?
I did make a backup before uninstalling the plugin, so everything is still somewhere. Also, I’ve moved the RAWR update posts to the blog, and you can now find them under the DnD Weekly Updates category (there’s also a link on the RAWR page).
Oh, and one more thing: I have another blog hidden somewhere on the web that I’ll be incorporating with Folaji.com. I’ve been thinking about it, and although the subject matter of the other blog is not really related to this site, there’s no real reason why I can’t merge the two together and just create a different category on this site. So, expect some different and interesting content in the coming weeks.
Website Upgrade
Jul 13th
As mentioned in a post I wrote earlier this month, Folaji.com was due for a few upgrades. I’m pleased to say that the upgrades to both the Blog and Forums were installed today, with no resulting issues (from what I can see).
That being said, if you see something funny or improper on the site, please let me know!
Back in Ottawa!
Jul 4th
We’ll we’ve been back in Ottawa since last Saturday, but with the trip just behind us and tired like hell, I decided not to have any DnD last week. I do not know if anybody is away on vacation this weekend, so I’ll be placing calls to you guys tomorrow, and if everybody is present and willing, then I don’t see why we can’t have a DnD session.
You’ll also notice that all Vikas Journal Entries have been published, and you can read through all of them by using the links below or by viewing the Vikas Journal Entries Series Page. This series of 7 pages taken from Vikas’ journal details how he became the owner of the Death Valley Inn, how he began working for the Soulhers, and how he and many of the farmers of Cory became undead creatures. Hope you enjoy!

And finally, a few notes about website updates. On the day before the day before we left on vacation (that’s not a typo) WordPress announced the release of WordPress 2.8. I will be looking at upgrading the blog to this new version in the following weeks, though I expect the site will pretty much remain the same (upgrades mostly have to do with the site administration). I may also have to upgrade the forum and run some tests on the different plugins, so expect a little site down-time and possibly some minor visual changes in the not to distant future.
Forums Update & Gravatars
Mar 28th
First, if you havn’t already, be sure to read my earlier post below about our DnD session tomorrow.
Now, with that out of the way, I’ve updated the forums and changed the look a little. Its possible that some links to the forums will have changed due to the update, so if you find a post that has a link in error, PM me so I can fix it.
Gravatar Logo
Also, with the forums upgrade comes a new avatar system: Gravatars.
A gravatar is a Globally Recognized Avatar that allows you to associate an avatar with your email address. The service is free, and allows you to have one global image for all your forum/blog/social networking site accounts. With the forums upgrade, Folaji.com is now fully compatible with gravatars, so I invite you to create a gravatar account today!
Welcome to WordPress 2.7
Jan 22nd
So I spent the last two hours working on the site, upgrading the blog engine to WordPress 2.7. As you can see, there really isn’t much of a change for site visitors, although the administrative back end is pretty sweet!
The next step, which will probably happen within the next couple of weeks, will be to upgrade the forums to Version 4.0.0. Unlike the upgrade of WordPress, you should see a significant change to the Forums Page once the upgrade is installed.
Edit: I changed the site’s theme on Friday, so yes, the site should look different now
