Here we go. Consider the Earth’s equator as the frame of reference. The moon is only 5.1 to 5.9 degrees off from that. So, you can reasonably go with the cardinal compass points of Earth to use for the moon. There is a nice image at this link to show the moon in relation to Earth’s equator and the sun for reference:…[Read more]

The moon doesn’t have a magnetic pole any longer, so that’s useless to determine direction. However, it does have a north and south pole if defined by the rotational axis. So, you could use that to define north, south, east, and west. What is north and what is south is more arbitrary, but that could be the link with Earth, in that both the north…[Read more]

This is a CSS text size issue, as the text is already black. But I agree, having the text bigger and a little bolder would be easier on the eyes.

Putting on the to-do list.

All Joomla posts and users were ported over. We should be good there. At this point we could shut that down without losing anything (plus I have an archive of the database, just in case.) The big reason to keep it going for a bit was just in case anything catastrophic happened with the new site. So far things appear stable.

So, the only issue…[Read more]

Okay, at least part of it is a plugin issue.
So, single break here with the above?

Double break with the above?

Nope.
Browser independent.

Testing in Vivaldi

Break?

Definitely preparing outlines. I’m also working on the story bible for the heart-project, in hopes that I’ll have the big stuff already figured out when it comes time to go full-tilt into the writing. Not that it usually works out that way, but hey, it’s a plan. 😛

Originally I had 3 outlines ready to go, but I’m already writing on the first o…[Read more]

New site is live! See post on the front page for more details.

Thank you! 🙂

I had to update the PHP version used on the hosting site, as the old version used isn’t being updated any longer and has several big security problems. As you can see, it broke part of the current FM site. However, the new site is working just fine on the more secure version of PHP.

So, I’m giving notice. I’m porting over all of the users and…[Read more]

Big testing is done!

Software has now been cloned to the new FM site location, and is up and running.

For the next week will come more testing, and then I will do the big import of the users and forums from here to the new site. At that point I will be pointing the domain to the new folder and the new site will be live.

I’ll post here just…[Read more]

The work on the new FM site continues. I have all the major elements in place and am now working on the smaller items. My goal is to get the new site up and running before Nano. So far I am on track for that.

And I agree. It will be nice to have all of the activity centralized again. Hopefully we’ll have more visitors into live chat!

For Chat, will the Writing Groove Chat remain active and move over to FM with the existing logins or will we have to re-register at the FM site after the move?

Thanks for the question, Moosey!

I own the chat room that is currently at Writing Groove and can embed it anywhere. It is not tied into the Writing Groove user…[Read more]

Writing Groove will remain up until I’m absolutely certain that the new FM site is working and stable. That way we can use it for support in the interim.

When the main testing is over the new website will go active as the main site. At that point I’m hoping (HOPING) it will be an easy thing to move this site to a sub-domain under the main domain…[Read more]
