Scottsworld 2020

Scottsworld Other than changing the links menu from the side to the top there was not any real major changes. I just updated both my ancestory database and the Henry Woodward Database on the Genealogy pages on 12-30-2020. I was not sure when I had last done it and Roy Arthur Kelly II my cousin had sent me updates on his family.

Scottworld Blog

WordPress made some changes and now automatically updates the plugins. Which is much appreciated, before I was weekly updating plugins more than I was actually blogging which was getting annoying. I logged in today and ran an SEO update and update my theam, which was the first time I’ve logged in to the WordPress app on my website in a couple months now.

Cactus Wren Weather Station

As part of Scottsworld also got the menu change and actually happened on the weather pages first. Forgot both also got some mobile coding so they work well on mobile devices, not that you will see the code and other than it works not notice it either. One change I am not happy about is the National Weather Service made major changes to their radar page, there are no more regional pages so I had to remove the radar graphic from the weather page because it was broken.. This is the new NWS Radar page and this is the NWS Tutorial on the new Radar page..

BTW I am officially a NWS weather spotter now. We are to report things like; tornadoes, storm damage, flooding, less than 1 mile visibility, large amounts of rain, hail and Snow. NWS SKYWARN Storm Spotter Program

Not that we get a lot of those things in Phoenix or even a big monsoon storm in the last couple years. We are down nearly 4 inches of rain for the year and the only real weather news was it was hot for a long time and we broke several heat related records. We were still hitting 100’s and 90’s into October and it did not drop below 80 until well into December. Then it went from 90 to 60’s in one week. I had to put a coat on to put up Christmas decorations because I was cold at 60.. I grew up in Colorado so I know what real cold feels like.

I am also a CoCoRaHS Community Collaborative Rain, Hail & Snow member, I have an official CoCoRaHS Rain Guage mounted on my weather station and the app on my phone to report any type of moisture we receive. Mostly this year I have cleaned dust and dead bugs out of the rain gauge. Blury thing in the corner is my finger.. Have trouble holding the phone and taking photos..

Scottsworld.info updated

https://scottsworld.info Biggest change is implementing https on the site, the default URL for the blog was changed to https and had to change all the links in my pages from http to https. Now getting any links to my site to change because if you to the http link instead of https it will stay on http until you click on a new link with the https coding.

Updated The Next Generation of Genealogy Sitebuilding ©, v. 12.0.2 from version 8 and updated the gedcoms that provide the information.  https://scottsworld.info/genealogy/getperson.php?personID=I1&tree=Woodward   https://scottsworld.info/genealogy/index.php

Have mostly completed updating the HTML/CSS of the site to be HTML 5 compliant. Unless you know website coding it probably isn’t of must interest.  A lot of things I was instructed to do in html 4 now is depreciated or not supported and I had to remove it. The main changes are designed to make sites more flexible so they display on any display or device.  If you don’t know HTML is Hyper Text Markup Language and CSS is Cascading Style Sheet.  More and more of the  control of the site from the color and fonts to margins, alignment of elements and so on are in the style sheet.

Biggest annoyance is over the years they have gone from the “center” tag to using “align=center” in that ever tag we wanted to center and you could center a whole page and everything on it with div align=center.  Well all that is depreciated and they want you to align stuff with the style sheet and one alignment command is now replaced with half a dozen different ones and what works on text does not work on images or tables and so on. I had to learn a whole new  technique to align images and tables. Now have one style command with half a dozen align and margin commands to do what align=center did with style=center with isn’t as reliable, some times doesn’t work.

Was working on the Woodward pages Friday night and yesterday, have one page that will not obey the style sheet and all the text runs from one side and off the right side… Driving me nuts, can’t find a reason why and html tidy and the css checker say there are no errors but obviously there is a problem.  https://woodward.scottsworld.info/introduction.htm  All the subpages from that page work using he same code..  ARGGG! Computers!!!  Enough to drive a person insane some times..

The weather page is mostly working. https://weather.scottsworld.info/index.html   At least the main page is, having issues with the program Weather display not uploading files it is set to and creating and uploading one image I have turned off completely but it still does it..  Bloomsky v1 died and was replaced with Bloomsky v2 but I have had issues with my internet dropping and have to get up on the roof and reset the bloomsky to the router.  If it is not one thing it is another around here, murphys law is working over time..  I will have to post some photos later, my phone crashed said the sd card was corrupted and the last photos I took the other day aren’t on it any more..

Removed the Gospel Principles pages, the list hasn’t been used in a few years now. Had too many people complaining they wanted to be removed (although instructions on how to unsubscribe were at the bottom of every message)  and not one person (over 500 subscribers) complained when I stopped posting as I don’t have enough time.  So I decided to remove the pages.  

Think that is everything, lot of coding changes and other technical changes but it still looks mostly the same. You would probably have to be me to spot the changes really.

New blog up.

Hello.

I’m Scott Scheibe and this is my website/blog and so forth. Welcome.

I had a blog on my old hosting on godaddy but when I moved my hosting to hostmonster it didn’t transfer as godaddy used blogging software built into their hosting.  Hostmonster offers a lot more features and is cheaper.  For instance I have PHP and MYsql here. I finally decided to get it set it up here with a new WordPress site.  This will mostly be about my site http://scottsworld.info and things related.   Latest news is I have installed WordPress and the The New Generation of genealogy publishing, TNG.   http://scottsworld.info/genealogy/index.php  TNG is a on demand genealogy database, instead of the  static html pages which never chanced unless I uploaded and update this will produce everything from group sheets, ancestral and descendant charts, multi media as it is requested by the user.   I haven’t updated my site in a while and some links still need fixing and some stuff needs updating.  This the default WordPress, I have not customized it as yet.  It is very late but wanted to get a post in place to replace the sample it started with.
