Projects 2024
I do many, many sites per year. I usually do not save screenshots. Here’s a summary of larger jobs of 2024. I do a lot of small spot jobs and website troubleshooting and fixes. The blogs website had over a 100 sites and I went through every site and fixed themes and plugins for items that could not be upgraded. A lot of coding. The new server for Cornell College is Ubuntu 22.04LTS, PHP 8.2, and running MySQL 8.
Cornell College
Here is one of my projects I did this year, 2024, for Cornell College in Eastern Iowa. I had to update 4 websites running under Ubuntu 16.04LTS, PHP 7.2, an old WordPress core, out-dated themes and plugins and migrate to a new server.
blogs.cornellcollege.edu
Can only be viewed on the college campus, fire walled to the outside world.
blogs.cornellcollege.edu
Blogs is a WordPress Multisite. The exported SQL database was 228 MB with nearly 3,000 tables.
Upgraded and moved to new server.
All the bookmarks for the site got lost. Went into an Internet archive and scraped the data to restore. Recreated the maps using Open Street.
Fixed pages and plugins to restore pages.
