Three days! During this long 8-day holiday, I have actually gone three consecutive days without updating my log! Perhaps you thought I was away traveling and had no time for management. In fact, it is quite the opposite; these past few days, I have been working non-stop on Spaces.Ac.Cn. This is because "Scientific Space" has returned to the Observatory.
Don’t understand? It’s okay, let me explain in detail.
Previously, because I liked the "geekg" style, I changed the website program to PJBlog. However, PJBlog is based on ASP, while the server at Cosmos Station is Linux-based and only supports HTML and PHP. Therefore, I had no choice but to change hosting spaces. But since we are a non-profit website with no income, I naturally did not want to spend money on this. Consequently, I moved through several free hosting providers, including Volcano Interconnect and others. First, I must thank Holdy Pan, the webmaster of the "Star Gazing Astronomy Forum," who once provided his space to me for free (though I am no longer using it). I also have to mention the website 9790.com, which provides 500MB of free space to everyone. Since the day I applied, I have used it almost exclusively for about two months, and it has been very stable. There are very few free hosting providers like this on the internet nowadays.
Later, when I revisited geekg, I found that he had changed his program to Typecho. Seeing this classic, relatively unknown blog program (goodness, it’s only a bit over 1MB after decompression), I fell in love with it. However, the webmaster did not make his geekg theme public, so I had no choice but to continue using PJBlog.
Finally, in late September, the website typethat recreated the geekg style for Typecho. Seeing this, I made up my mind: change the program immediately and return to the National Astronomical Observatory!
However, this process was not so smooth. There was no ready-made "PJBlog to Typecho" converter, so I had to go from PJBlog to WordPress, and then from WordPress to Typecho. Because the latest version of PJBlog uses hotlink protection for attachments, the download addresses are very specific, so I had to convert them. I used batch files for the conversion, and that issue alone took an entire morning. Then there was the database migration, which also involved many detours. Friends, please remember: you must go from PJBlog to WordPress 2.7.1 to Typecho 0.6; otherwise, the chance of errors is very high!
Most of the website content has been transferred, but two problems remained: 1. Article tags were not transferred; 2. The homepage did not display excerpts. Knowing nothing about programming, I gritted my teeth and decided to modify each article one by one (over 100 articles, which took nearly a full day!). Finally, I modified the website interface to become what you see now.
Currently, there are still many imperfections in the website program. But regardless, I have returned to the National Astronomical Observatory, and I am happy. If any friends find bugs, please leave a message to point them out.
Typecho:
A compact blog program—simple and fast—which has made the website much faster on the Cosmos Station server, which was originally not very speedy. At the same time, this blog is extremely concise; one even has to write HTML code to publish logs! However, I really like this style; after all, this way it truly becomes "my articles, my way"!
