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
