Update - Labels Added

Thursday, August 02, 2007

Just added labels to all of my posts on this site. At the very bottom of each post you'll see a grouping of word(s) that categorize the post. Clicking on one of the words brings you to a single page with all of those posts. Useful if you want to see all the technical posts, posts with downloads, or say all posts about my R5 all at once, without searching or using the archive.

Redesign!

Wednesday, July 05, 2006

It took a bit, but it's finally live! A complete overhaul, code-wise and graphics-wise. A few highlights of the new (and recent) functions:
  • New design - layout is much cleaner, more modern, easier to read
  • Site subscription - via RSS and/or email
  • New Lightbox feature - photos no longer go to a new page - click and see!
  • New Frappr Owner's Map Widget - newer, less wonky version
  • Site archives - not all posts are on the same page
  • Post commenting - leave feedback, suggestions, etc...
  • Site search
In the coming days I'll be tweaking the ad space as well as going though the links and photos to make sure everything is working. Everything might not be 100% yet... In the meantime, let me know what you think!

New! R5 Site Subscription Options

Monday, June 05, 2006

Hey everyone! More site updating!

After a few people wrote in about having some trouble with the old wonky subscription service for this site, and after listening to some glowing reviews of a new(er) service in action (on a podcast from the guys at White Roof Radio), I've aligned my blog with FeedBurner to bring you a new RSS subscription option. You'll see the new link in the sidebar, with a shiny orange icon next to it.

So... what's all this fancy RSS stuff, you ask? Well, it's an easy way to stay on top of what's going on here (and many other sites to which you can subscribe). Confused? Get a better handle on the whole RSS thing here.

If you'd rather not get into the whole newsreader thing, and you'd still like to subscribe, you can always sign up via email. Just enter your address is the field located below the RSS button in the "Subscribe" section of the sidebar, and that's it!

I hope this proves useful to you guys! If you have problems, let me know... I'll see if I can sort things out...

Cleaning up...

Monday, May 15, 2006

Some of you may have noticed things are changing a bit around here. I'm in the middle of redesigning this site. It's become less of a site about my personal bike and more of a site about R5s in general, plus due to it's age I think a freshening up and a good reorganization are in order.

Most importantly, I've switched to a archived posting system, so not every single post will be visible anymore, as in the past. You'll find the archives sorted by month at the bottom of the left-hand navigation bar.

Keep an eye out for more changes coming soon!

SERVER PROBLEMS

Wednesday, August 17, 2005

Sorry for the downtime, everyone.

I had some problems with my (previous) hosting company, supposedly for letting my renewal and domain registration lapse. Which was, of course, not the case - I had a year to go...

In any event, I've switched over to MediaTemple - designer-friendly, real tech support, four times the server space, and half the cost. Everything should be resolved by now, because if you're reading this, then everything is working as it should.

While I made the transition, everything went down - for a while, all of lawrenceotoole.com itself went down, which killed everything - all my sites as well as email. I apologize if anyone got mail bounced back to them. I assure you, all that has been fixed now.

There may be a few things missing here and there, such as images and the like - I'm going through everything now to make sure all is as it should be.

My main site lawrenceotoole.com is currently down for a redesign - everything is a mess now anyways so why the heck not? Hasn't had a major overhaul in something like four years... shame on me. Anyways I'm working on getting the R5 site (as well as the MINI site) more real estate on the front page, instead of being squirreled away as before. Stay tuned...

Googled!

Monday, June 06, 2005

I've been wondering why I get so many random visitors to this site, so I
Googled "Yamaha R5" and found I'm the fourth result... not too shabby!

UPDATE - I just checked again tonight, June 14th, and I was the second listing. Wow.

:: HIATUS ::

Friday, February 18, 2005

Alas, friends, time for a holiday. K and I will be visiting the land down under for about 2 weeks, starting tomorrow... so no bike-related stuff until then. But lots of pics, I promise. And I'll be sure to say "Hi!" to Paul Hogan and Colin Hay for you.

Subscription



I just hooked up this site to send feeds you can subscribe to and read with a newsreader, or display on other web sites, software, or gadgets. I guess that means I'll have to post more... well, the riding season is quickly approaching, so we'll see...

To subscribe, you can use the link at the bottom of the sidebar, or click here.

Pictures posted

Tuesday, August 31, 2004

This past weekend, while putting in a little wrench time, I was able to snag a few photos of the bike. She looks a little different from the images posted in the auction...
