My website is hosted under Bluehost, which so far has been treating me well. I do a lot of uploading since my site also serves as my portfolio for art and music, and there have been times when I would attempt to upload something into Wordpress and it would give me the following error:

The uploaded file exceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.ini.

I was able to fix the problem, so I figured I’d create a post to help out anyone out there who has this problem as well. This guide assumes:

• You are a Bluehost user
• You setup Wordpress on your domain using Bluehost

This guide is current as of 10/4/2009.

I’ve migrated my old site, I Stand Enchanted, to this new domain, Engineer By Design. The change was mostly because I never felt that “I Stand Enchanted” truly conveyed the meaning of what I wanted my blog/portfolio to be. Instead, it was created in a failed effort from trying to come up with a domain name by combining a favorite song, I Stand, with a favorite movie, Enchanted.

I’m trying to finish this, among other things, between now and next Thursday once I start graduate school. Just one more week left!

Over the past few days you may have noticed that the website has been slowly going over soem redesign. Once I got the image header done, I started to take on the CSS, but very slowly. (It’s hard to be in front of a computer when I come home after being in front of one all day for 9 hours at work.) One of the things that’s troubling me a little bit is the Portfolio section of the website, because I’m not sure how to categorize the sections in art and music. (For example, categorizing in terms of the type of media versus the purpose in which it was used.) I’d like to come up with a more efficient category system before I upload the remaining works that I’ve gathered. That way I can control the “clutter” first instead of adding it.

Well, after months — maybe years even — of wanting to setup a website for my portfolio, projects, and engineering shenannigans, I’ve finally done so.

As you can tell, this site is still very much in the works. Here’s my to-do list so far:

• Setup domain/DNS (7/25/2008)
• Gather content for my Portfolio page from both laptop and computer
• Update About section; maybe find pics to post? (7/24/2008)
• Update resume (7/26/2008)
• After content established, completely overhaul CSS design (current one is temporary)

7/26/2008 Update:

Well, I have a bit more content up now. There’s still a lot of browsing around to do for gathering and organizing things into my portfolio. In regards to my Resume and About section, I feel as if they’re rough drafts, and at this moment after looking over and proofreading my work, I can’t seem to catch typos and errors when in my gut I feel like there are.

There’s still much work to do, but as it is right now, it’s starting to look more solid, which I am thankful for.
