WordPress Category Help? Anyone?

March 9th, 2008 at 8:34 pm » Comments (5)

OK, so like I said, part of my blog overhaul includes consolidating post categories so I can get rid of others. Does anyone know if there’s a way that I can move all of, say, the Star Wars posts into the Current Affairs/Pop Culture category at the same time? Or do I have […]



Where I’ve Been

January 23rd, 2008 at 12:18 pm » Comments (6)

So, this is the first post of 2008 and basically it’s to tell you that I will be on hiatus for . . . oh, I don’t know. Until I get better, anyway. In short (if that’s possible for me), here’s the scoop:
I saw the PCP at the beginning of January and he […]



Just As I Thought It Couldn’t Get Any Worse, My Blogroll Craps Out On Me

October 29th, 2007 at 11:09 pm » Comments (2)

I’ve been having problems with my Blogrolling account for quite some time now. Although my sidebar lists all of the blogs I’ve added to my blogroll, when I log in to my account (which I can’t do at the moment because the site’s down), only one link shows up! So I’ve been afraid […]



What You’ve All (Any of You Who Still Read My Blog, That Is) Been Waiting For…

October 15th, 2007 at 7:58 pm » Comments (7)

. . . a real blog post! A very good blog friend called me last week to make sure I’m OK. She noticed that I hadn’t posted anything in ten days, which surprised even me. I realize that most of what I’ve been posting is “filler” unless you’re absolutely interested in the […]



WordPress and Their Constant “Development”

September 27th, 2007 at 5:14 pm » Comments (10)

Is there anyone besides me who isn’t Web-design/developer-inclined and gets frustrated every time WP decides to upgrade? Why can’t they just wait until one version is secure before upgrading? It doesn’t even give the theme designers or plugin developers a chance to update their own work to be compatible with the “latest and […]



Not Quite a Sticky Post

August 19th, 2007 at 4:27 pm » Comments (4)

Because that plugin no longer exists/works, or whatever. I am using WP 2.1.3, I think. They upgrade so fast you can’t even keep track anymore. Does anyone else agree that they should make sure one version is completely bug-free before they work on a newer version? Or am I in the […]



Short Break

May 20th, 2007 at 9:52 pm » Comments (2)

I’m exhausted, possibly from dehydration. Saw the PCP and it isn’t the anemia. He doesn’t think I’m getting enough carbs, considering my activity level, so for a week I get to eat one Pop-Tart a day and white rice and pasta! Yay! He also said that stress and tension can add […]



It Ain’t Fixed Yet

April 29th, 2007 at 11:06 pm » Comments (5)

How fucking annoying. Not all of my uploads from my old host/server actually transferred to my new host/server. So now I have to re-upload shit and so there are missing images and stuff in some posts. Others have weird characters, like apostrophes turning into something other than apostrophes. Oh, and since […]



I’m Back; Just Different

April 25th, 2007 at 7:11 pm » Comments (7)

Thanks to Rachel and Danalyn at Weblog Design Studios, I found a great web host who helped me fix up my blog: Blogs About. Many thanks to both Lisa and Chris, especially Lisa, for putting up with all of my questions and helping me get this new WP 2.1.2 straightened out. I’m […]



Switching Hosts

April 21st, 2007 at 5:33 pm » Comments Off

I’m about to switch hosts, but I’m not sure how long it will take. So if my blog is down for a few days or something, that’s why. But at least it will fucking finally be fixed!
I’m turning comments off of this post so I can backup my database or whatever. However, […]
