Personal Web Site History
September 2009
Changed from a dynamic PHP based website to a txt2tags based one with static pages. Rebuilt all existing pages and created a custom Makefile to automatically update any html files from source and build needed indexes and tables of contents.
May 2006
Added a blogging functionality so I could add minor tidbits on the main page.

Relocated website to kowallis.com and took the family history site and placed it as a subdirectory. At some point I will make some changes to the family history stuff, but it really hasn't had any real content for a while any way. The change to a new domain name required a few changes to the web pages and the PHP includes so things were pointed to the right place. Another problem was changing my home computer so that my development environment on the website would work, and the pages would also work on the live website. It doesn't do any good to have a working site in a development environment that doesn't work on the real thing. The site map is now working. I have an offline script that generates it, which I only have to run occasionally when pages are added or pages change names. Perhaps I can add that as part of the upload script, except that would make for a much slower process.

I added the printer friendly buttons and got the style sheets working correctly. I am trying to get the site map to work, but It is being a pain.
March 2005
I upgraded all html to php and removed all frames from the site. Also updated some content and organization.

After moving to a new house it is taking a while to get the network rebuilt. In the meantime, the information on the network remains on the website, but most of it is not implemented.

Massive content review! I corrected spelling errors and confirmed that external links still worked. I updated personal information and made minor edits to old pages.
