Been “demontheory.net” since some readers somehow bought that for me back in 2005, I think it was? They ran this site for a year or two, then I took over, been messing it up ever since. But, after all this time, “stephengrahamjones.com,” which has been resolving TO “demontheory.net,” is finally the URL that sticks around.
& comic-booking, and the rascally comic-bookers who comic-book Anyway, went to add this one/below to my comic books page, and saw that I never got around to building it up. So, it’s built up now. Right up to the left, here (in the current iteration of the site): hot topics>talking about>comic books.
All the times I’ve said that before, it’s just been a new theme. Which . . . yeah, okay, sure, this is a new theme as well. But? So much has changed and’s still changing behind the scenes, not the least of which is that there’s someone way more capable than me getting things working.
Some of y’all may remember way, WAY back when, when I was thinking I was meant to write movie reviews. Welp . . . that never happened. But, there’s artifacts! Thanks to Clockpunk Studios, who dug these all up from a database and got them displaying. Back when this site was Cinemuck.com, I think I
They seem to suddenly be on my site. I suspect they’re coming in with Disqus/the comments somehow. Could be some weird add-on/burrow-in from the theme, I suppose. Either way, will try to see what’s what, what’s not, and how to make them NOT HAPPEN. Apologies. Very weird. Here’s something to hold us over, until things
If anyone skating through here catches one, maybe reply under this? Now that comments are finally working again . . . Speaking of, need to go back a few posts and open comments on everything. Wish I could set it as default, not have to remember to do it manually, but should probably just be
Been wondering for . . . a year? more? why comments went away on, here. Figured it was a theme or WordPress update, then didn’t have time to think about it anymore. But, now that I just updated the site, I was clicking around, actually trying to figure it out, and: comments have been default-turned
should have been putting up all the Angel reviews, tour photos, but . . . can’t seem to keep up, these last couple weeks. hopefully soon, soon. for reviews, anyway. kind of doubt I’ll get around to scrounging all the tour-shots into a single poster. so it goes. in GOOD news, though, I got the
Same theme—I need one with A) menus at the top, B) branching submenus, and C) a right panel/column—but everything’s moving much faster now. Upgraded my WordPress hosting stuff, cleaned up a lot of stuff behind the curtains, and . . . I can finally again do galleries, I think. A little test, just using random
Been ignoring everything I could get away with ignoring since Dec1: started a novel that day. Finished Saturday. Think I said on X or BlueSky that it’s my first vampire novel, but . . . realizing now I actually wrote another back in 1999. But it wasn’t good enough even to mess around rewriting. Some
on my best of 2023 list, I’d somehow left nonfic off. it’s there now, a month later. and, now need to drop a random image here, to keep this post from disappearing:
Did it kind of arbitrarily well after midnight a night or two ago. Figured the old one, being a 2017-theme, was probably dragging a lot of slowdowns with it. But? Could be some new and unfun bugs, I guess. If so, let me know somehow? A reply to this post, maybe? And, not yet sure
because: I’m on the road for a few hours yet, and my laptop’s conked, and been conked for about six days, now.
Which is to say: all those Pages I had to turn into Posts, that automatically feed into this space (four of them, I think), this should be the end of that. Unless, of course, I find some more that the new theme doesn’t play nice with. And, hopefully-hopefully I adjusted all the sluglines/URLs such that
I hope? Just noticing that, since I updated themes, some of the bookpages are formatting oddly (Chainsaw, Mannequins, Memorial Ride, “Wait for Night”—all the recent stuff). Can’t figure why . . . yet. I think it might have to do with them being Pages instead of Posts (here in WordPress). Will investigate when I have
Needed to find a story for somebody, made a wrong click, stumbled into a dead link, and found that, over the last three or four months, man, a lot of those story links have quit going anywhere good. Apologies for that. I miss “Bestiary” being out there, readable. And, goodbye to “Hemingway Hills in the
Well, really, links plural, but the visual gag doesn’t work in the plural: [ lou93Â @ deviantart] Anyway, just took a fast and dirty click-tour through the Stories category here, and, man: lot of ancient, broken, go-nowhere junk. Sorry about that. Should have cleaned it up years and years ago. Hopefully will get to the other
something in the old theme was looping, chewing up all the memory, and it was also defaulting to the mobile version for desktop. so: new look, for a bit. just picked something simple (and not mobile friendly, alas), as I can’t mess with it at the moment. but, hopefully, maybe: And, that new header-img, it’s
Guess the body of this post is pretty much in the subject line up there. Maybe again someday? Who knows. Just deactivated, didn’t delete. Wanted to see what the other side is like. But I’m still in birdland, should anybody need me. And I’m on Litsy as well, having fun. Not on Instagram, though. Reason?
It’s what the new theme’s called. It’s made for showcasing cars—photographs, at least—has a cool built-in slider I can use if I set a featured image with each post. but, the drawback is that it then plants that featured image large-size at the top of every post. So, I fiddled with this, fiddled with that,
tried to add The Faster, Redder Road to the menus, and it somehow broke all the secondary menus. I deleted it, but the breakage persists. So, either I’ll reinstall this WordPress or re-install the theme or nab a new theme, I suppose. And hopefully soon. But right now I’m writing a novel. Sorry for any
Took TWO HOURS yesterday to go through, clean up all the broken junk over in the navigation. And there was no small amount, either, sorry. Most were the result of other sites updating this or that, which changed the URL. Meaning, I only lost four or five stories, two or three interviews, and a couple of
I haven’t been this impressed with a slasher in a good long time. I want to say since Cabin in the Woods. And before that . . . Tucker & Dale vs. Evil? Behind the Mask: Leslie Vernon? Except none of them quite play it Golden Age, either. And that’s good, don’t get me wrong.
So, post-hack, lost a few posts, all the comments, and have yet to get everything tailored exactly as I want it, but stephengrahamjones.com’s more or less functional again, even if the images &etc in some of the links aren’t going to work anymore. And the menus and boxes will continue to change, as I figure
Just a note to say, yep, it’s all different now. Got tired of the red and black stuff, just washed it all out grey and white. it looks like it should in Firefox, but I’m thinking that, in IE or IE-driven stuff, the “em”-size CSS is going to get ignored, kind of throwing off some
