A few weeks ago, my mom commented that I hadn’t mentioned anything on my blog about the Rachael Ray show wedding, and I told her that I did … only it was over on the wedding photography blog, and a lot about it on Twitter. Oops!
So I decided to add in the WordPress plugin [...]
I needed a change, and thanks to the fabulous talents of Derek Powazek and a little code-fu of my own, I have one. Code-fu which even involved CSS, because the center column wasn’t 500 pixels wide, so my photos were messing up the page. 500 pixels is the default medium size from Flickr, [...]
Ok, so I wrote this great post. And Jesus Saves, but I don’t, so it was lost instead of posting. Ack. Oh well - here it goes again. I’ve decided to move the knitblogging content over to PointySticks. I will cross-post here for a little bit, and continue to post [...]
I was tired of the old design. I needed a change. WordPress Themes makes that an easy thing, and now I have a new design in a snap. I want to make changes, either replacing the top image with rotating photos of my own (if only I knew how!) or Flickr thumbnails. [...]
These were the flowers on the bush right outside our cabin in the Ozarks. I have no idea what type of flowers they are, but if you do would you let me know? Is it maybe a hibiscus?
I am still making my way through the hundreds of photos I’ve taken in the past [...]
Ever since I put this theme into place, it has bothered me that my icon has disappeared. The icon is that little plate of cookies that shows up in the address bar, or on a tab if you use Firefox. (You really, really should be using Firefox. For your own safety.) [...]
I am curious - for those of you out there reading this site via bloglines or the feed reader of your choice (mine is NewsGatorOnline) - does it bother you that I added the photos to my feed? Does it slow the feed reader down, slowing you down, causing you to just skip reading [...]
The miniature view looking down from the bell tower of Notre Dame in Paris on Cafe Panis and the Seine. It looks even better viewed large.
As an added bonus, if you click that large link, you will see the image using the uber cool and fabulous Lightbox Plugin that I just found [...]
I’m trying to convert all of my RSS feed readers over to using my FeedBurner feed. If you are reading this in Bloglines, NewsGatorOnline (my personal favorite), Google, My Yahoo! or your RSS feed reader of choice, would you mind converting? Just click here to subscribe. (I’ve included handy-dandy links on my [...]
Like the colors of the design here? I do. I’m all about the pink/black/white combination. I always have been, if you have noticed in any of my past designs. So for now, this one is going to stay. Hopefully the colors are easy for everyone to read. I’ll continue [...]
I just sent this on to the Akismet team, but wanted to post it here also in case anyone had advice for me. (Also, if you know of any really cool, must have WP 2.0 plugins, feel free to let me know. I *heart* plugins.)
When I log into review the “Caught Spam” I get conflicting [...]
As you can see (well, if you’re not reading this via RSS, I guess), Mike upgraded my WP install last night to the brand new fancy fresh WP 2.0. So far, so good! Even though it only took him a few minutes to do the upgrade, I had reached my maximum online time [...]
I decided to try out adding a plugin to my site, and damn, was that easy! (Yes, I had to distract myself from the frustration of my CSS issues. Grrr…) I added the WP Amazon plugin, and … bam! It works! Simply amazing. After being so used to [...]
I first spotted it over at Anil’s site, and then I noticed it at Mike’s. After his comment to my Ch-ch-changes post, I decided it was time to add one too … Cookie Crumbs has now been launched in the sidebar on the default skin.
I’ve had a blog for a long time that I [...]
Digging through the MT-Plugins site, I am amazed at how many options are out there that I wasn’t even aware of! I am always wondering how people do things on their sites, and inspired by that, I realized that I should add a Changelog category here. Feel free to follow along if you [...]
With just a few tweaks here and there, the basic blue and white skin has returned. Electrin had commented that the skin was broken when I first met him - in reality, I had never bothered to fix it last year.
Now if I could figure out a firm definition of when to use div, [...]
Just can’t get enough of me? Miss the old, old default look of this site? Then you will be happy to know that the Christine photo skin has been tweaked to work with the new CSS! I need to make changes to the sidebar, but it’s displaying correctly now! (I still [...]
If you’re using anything other than skin 1 or skin 12, you’re probably seeing a mess right now. I’m still tweaking, meanwhile - pick a different skin.
I did it! I did it! The new and improved BPC Lite just received a “This Page Is Valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional!” You can see for yourself - Validation Results for BPC Lite.
UPDATE: Validating my CSS was a lot easier - a quick phone call to Matt to get help figuring [...]
