Hemingway Questions

Anyone familiar with WordPress themes, specifically Hemingway? I love it except I hate that it’s stripping stuff out of the front page posts. I want the images and links included – I don’t want people to have to click to the entry to see them. I’m guessing it’s making some kind of excerpt but I’m very new to this system and not sure what I should be looking for in order to change it. Any ideas?

Actually, I’d like it to show a bit more of the post as well if that was possible.  All fixed, thanks M1k3y!!!

Grinning, but not to death

new sbdc frontI’ve been wanting to make the front page of www.seanbonner.com look like that for years, or at lease wanting to use that idea for years. And now it’s finally live and I can’t stop smiling. I know it will mean next to nothing to most people but I’m giddy over it. The first person (who I didn’t tell already) who can correctly name the reference will get something as a prize. I haven’t figured out what yet, so it’s entirely possible that the prize will suck, but it will be a prize none the less. So… know what it is?

Update! We have winners! From the comments here SFSlim and Fuzzy both nailed it, though since the new blog has a fancy setting that I didn’t know about where I have to approve a comment by someone first before they can post freely their answers didn’t make it live. Also Jim O’Connell got it on Twitter. And yes, I’m a huge fan. 🙂

Hello WordPress!

Alright folks, it looks like I pulled it off. Unfortunately as I suspected the old RSS feed isn’t going to be functional anymore, or at least it’s not at the moment. I’ve still got a few things to try but for the moment this is the current RSS feed for the new blog. I’m thinking some form of redirect or cross posting will take care of the old feed URL but I’ll mess around with that tomorrow. Just getting this up and running is enough for me today. I’ll start filling in the blanks tomorrow, I promise.
