    Site Repairs

    by Andrew McCaskey
    At a certain point, the house of cards that gets built up over time needs a major overhaul.

    And, that’s about the situation with the Wordpress template and presentation that forms the delivery framework for the SDRNews podcast.

    Since the podcast started, I have used Wordpress as the blogging engine for the RSS feed generation, with the iPodCatter plug-in. I have resisted the temptation to upgrade to PodPress - and from what I have recently read that has turned out to be a good decision.

    On the other hand, layer upon layer of visual and text has piled up - and not in a good way.

    So, with the help and suggestions from a long term listener / reader, I’m trying some small modifications this week, and with luck will be able to get the site greatly improved during the month of August - from both a readability and usability standpoint.

    If you have suggestions on the layout or features that you would like to see, please write.

    Thanks,
    Andy
