World Wildlife WordPress of Jacksonville
I’ve never seen so many birds and insects in one place, it’s pretty crazy. I’ve already seen two different snakes and plenty of bugs (some of which I could care less). So, enjoy all the wildlife that I’ve seen around Jacksonville.
How to compose in Block Editor, the We Heart Music way
Are you a WordPress Block user and would like to use some of my methods for incorporating our format in your posts? You can obviously modify it for your usage.
Site Update (September 2025)
Since September 1st, I have been really busy backing up the TypePad website, month by month… starting in August 2025 and working backward to January 2007. With everyone also backing up, they knocked the host offline for a few days, so I was worried for a while about getting all my data off of TypePad. It’s all fixed now, so as of a few days ago, I’ve grabbed all the pages and their thumbnails (displayed images). The next step is to drill down and download all the full images… which might not be possible, given the short time frame. We only have a week before they pull the plug.
W♥M.com Update
Right now, the priority is WordPress, and the more I work on this current website (wheartm.com), the more I am understanding how it works. Who knows, maybe one day, I’ll be an expert.
So here are some behind-the-scenes updates that you may not be aware of.
Site Update: Day 4
I've been busy updating the We Heart Music About Page (which you can access on the very top menu, next to Contact, on the front page). It's kind of fun to take a drive down memory lane. As you can see from the timeline, there's been a lot of changes since 2007. I wish I had taken more screen shots at random times, rather than just waiting for an event to trigger a manual snapshot.
WordPress: Gutenberg and Covernews
When TypePad announced their closure a few days ago, we were scrambling to move our contents over to WordPress. To be fair, the plan was always to move to something modern, because we saw the writings on the wall with TypePad, when the platform stopped accepting new accounts during the pandemic (in 2020). When it seemed like this wasn’t a temporary thing, we started exploring alternative options, starting in early 2025.
Site Update: wheartm.com
In the last 24 hours I’ve been very busy for me. As you may, or may not, know, TypePad, the blogging platform that we’ve been on since 2007, is shutting down on September 30, 2025.
We have nearly 20 years of content, so moving each entry, one-by-one, is time consuming, and is not really an option. My only option is to quickly scrape the website and “save all” on my local hard drive and then eventually formatting it for the future blogging home.
