New look for Dignoscentia
January 5, 2008 § Leave a Comment
I launched a slightly re-designed look for Dignoscentia. Here’s what’s changed:
- Color scheme (just a bit)
- Location of logo (now on right, to match up with the sidebar)
- Overall site width has increased, so I can post larger photos within the content column. The total site width is still under 800 pixels, since there are some readers who still use that screen resolution. Over the past year, approximately 7% of site visitors had that resolution. When the number starts falling under 3%, I may make the site wider.
- The Bible Podcasts are featured more prominently on the front page.
- Summaries of the last seven posts are given on the front page instead of the full text. This is so the home page loads faster.
- New site categories are up. I’ve also introduced tags for my posts. I’m going through and re-categorizing the posts as needed.
Hope you find the new look and feel more useful!

I’ve just taken care of the last bugs, and the site is fully functional. Tested it in IE, Firefox, Safari and Camino, works fine. Please be sure to contact me if you encounter a glitch. Thanks!
Now I can get back to the regular posts! :-)
Site fixes mostly done

Just finished straightening out the biggest culprits in the code. Site looks better now, still some small problems, will iron those out in the next few days.
I had to create a brand new template for WordPress, since I just couldn’t fix the problems in the previous one. That meant new graphics, new CSS (adapted from existing templates) and integration into site pages. Not a lot of fun when I’m in a time crunch because the site is broken.
On the one hand, I really, really don’t enjoy straight 12-hour workdays to fix some pesky code when I’m supposed to be on vacation… I’ve literally been sitting at my desk since this morning, taking short breaks to eat and the like. On the other hand, now Dignoscentia looks great!
Such is life sometimes…
Working on the live site

I’m sorting out the CSS, and it’s taking a while…
New Dignoscentia launched
April 18, 2006 § Leave a Comment
After working feverishly for a few days to transfer the entire site and blog to WordPress, plus the podcasts to Loudblog, it’s finally done!
The WordPress CMS (Content Management System) now runs the entire site, and Loudblog runs the two podcasts (Dignoscentia Bible Podcast and Dignoscentia Podcast Biblic) we produce.
Unfortunately, I discovered late last night that the pages in WordPress don’t render correctly in Internet Explorer, so I’m currently working on a fix for that. There are slight display problems in Firefox as well, barely noticeable, but there. This has to do with the site’s template and CSS files.
I hope to have a fix for the problem today.
The Dignoscentia Bible Podcasts are up!

Great news! Just discovered the iTunes Music Store has added my Bible Podcasts. Ligia and I are recording them simultaneously in both English and Romanian. I submitted them about 1 1/2 weeks ago. Went frantic this evening making sure my RSS files are spiffed up and work with multiple readers. Click here to access my Podcasts section at Dignoscentia.com. I’m also using FeedBurner to publish the feeds. You can access the pages for the English and Romanian podcasts by clicking on each language.
