Perishable Press

The Perishable Press Change.Log serves as a semi-formal record of changes made to the site. Since its inception in 2005, Perishable Press has been a work in progress — a virtual testing platform for themes, plugins, code, tricks, hacks, words, and ideas in general. Everything is evolves in a perpetual state of flux, where updates and upgrades are outnumbered only by theme changes and post entries. Therefore, the implementation and maintenance of this change log is my attempt at keeping track of the myriad alterations associated with the perishablepress.com domain. Not the most exciting list to read through, but definitely helpful when it comes to troubleshooting and problem solving.
