Heads up, buttercup: Last week I said the site was moving to a new IP<\/a>. That actually didn’t happen until this<\/em> weekend. Now the https is all set up. The links are updated, and now if you use the forum link in the header you should be taken to the secure version of the site.<\/p>\n

While I was at it, I fixed the CSS so that the large first letter of a post wouldn’t get cut off if you began a post with a yellow aside box, which was the case for every post in Bob’s Game of Thrones<\/a> series. <\/p>\n

Technically, you should<\/strong> be able to access this blog via https<\/strong>:\/\/www.shamusyoung.com\/twentysidedtale<\/code>. However, I’ve been having mixed results with this. I go to the front page, switch to the secure version, but then after clicking on some links I look up and see I’m back at the vanilla version. But other times not? <\/p>\n

WordPress wants a fully-qualified URL for the root of the site. It prepends this to all automatically generated links, which includes a lot of the navigation stuff. I’m assuming this is the root of the problem, but I don’t know. The problem seems pretty inconsistent. It happened constantly last night, but tonight I’m having trouble getting it to happen. <\/p>\n

I could change the ENTIRE site to ALWAYS be https, but I don’t know if there are drawbacks or problems to doing this. Would that be slower in some situations? Would that cause hassles? I don’t know what the drawbacks of https are so I’m wary of making sweeping changes without gathering a little feedback first.<\/p>\n

Anyway, don’t worry if none of this makes sense to you. This is a small thing impacting an even smaller number of people. The point is, I did a technical thing that changed some stuff that is probably working or whatever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
