No Longer Hiat-ing, BUT…

March 5th, 2008 at 6:48 pm » Comments (12)

…my blog needs a serious overhaul. Since I first started bloggo chicago, it’s grown and evolved, just as I have. However, there are way too many categories so I’m going to need to get rid of some and combine others.
I probably won’t post as often, either, so I’m trying to figure out how […]



So Over Bloglines & Other Blog-Related Stuff

March 1st, 2007 at 7:05 pm » Comments (3)

I haven’t been visiting as many blogs as usual because as most of you know, I was in the hospital two weeks ago and last week I had three outpatient ECT treatments. This has been the first week I’ve had to myself and it has NOT been a good one.
I’ve felt irritable, anxious, and […]



Wonky Fucking Smilies

January 29th, 2007 at 3:24 am » Comments (5)

I’d been using the 2.0 version of the More Smilies Plugin, and apparently, it updated to a 2.1 version. I thought I downloaded it and uploaded it via FTP correctly, but it doesn’t even appear on my Plugins page. As a result, there are no smilies to be had, and all the old […]

The depression has […]

TypePad

a few weeks ago TypePad users received an e-mail from one of the higher-ups offering users their choice of a 15-, 30-, or 45-day credit because of “the problems that some of our users experienced last month”. everyone automatically got a 15-day credit if they didn’t choose the other 2 options, and i figured […]



Learning WordPress; Where Is Daily Star Wars Trivia?

December 16th, 2005 at 7:16 pm » Comments (4)

slowly but surely i’m learning WordPress thanks to Justin at WebbleYou. the links in the header (about, archives, contact) finally work. they don’t look exactly the way i want them to, but that’s fine for now. i need to rewrite the about page anyway.
