EchoPark.Net is back with a blog-powered 7th version of the Echo Park community website.

First off I want to thank Angeleno Heights resident David Gee for setting up the WordPress software on my server! David’s offer of assistance ended the hiatus and motivated me to sit down and figure out how to manipulate, through trial and a lot of error, the CSS code that I’ve never played with before.

What you see is a couple of days worth of messing around with the look of the site by modifying Sadish Balasubramanian’s very clean C4M theme more to my liking. I’ve retained the blue lake theme but dumped the always disliked blue font. I’ll be manipulating the site some more, making some subtle tweaks here and there and adding a Flickr powered photo sidebar very soon.

Now that EchoPark.Net is blog-powered you’ll be able to feed via RSS the latest entries to your email or blog reader (I use Bloglines) without checking in here at the site (only to find that nothings changed for the last 4 months).

I’ve also taken the last 4-years of post and entered them as individual dated entries that are now categorized.

Thanks for your patience and queries about the site,

Scott
