About a month ago, power surge brought down my W08E10 environment. This weekend was finally able to assess the damage, it turns out 4 seagate hard drives were toasted which included both data drives and their backup. So that environment is gone for good but replacing hard drive and using current hardware to expand my W12E13 environment.
Took a little time off hardware and software to relax and nothing relaxes me like Web development.
Made a few enhancements to My Blog, amongst other things I did;
- Connected blog to Windows 8 WordPress App
- Enable Subscription
- Enable Likes
- Post by email
- Enhance sharing option
- Mobile theme
