    Using Custom Fields « WordPress Codex I haven't been able to figure this feature out, but I'd like to get it working if possible. This tutorial makes it sound so easy, like the jitterbug, but it plum eluded me the last time I tinkered with it. Supposedly, you can get it to do all kinds of things, but the simplest are adding moods and "Currently Reading" and such. Here is an example of what this information might look like on your post: Currently Reading: Calvin and Hobbes Today's Mood: Jolly and Happy Usage Based upon our example above, let's put…

    The Antikythera Device: Using Science to Discover Ancient Technology

    Dept. of Archeology: Fragmentary Knowledge: Reporting & Essays: The New Yorker Other artifacts included bronze fittings for wooden furniture, pottery, an oil lamp, and item 15087—a shoebox-size lump of bronze, which appeared to have a wooden exterior. Inside were what seemed to be fused metal pieces, but the bronze was so encrusted with barnacles and calcium that it was difficult to tell what it was. With so much early excitement focussed on the sculptures, the artifact didn’t receive much attention at first.

    DO NOT WANT ANGLICAN PIE

    Father Jake Stops the World: With Apolgies to Don McLean I'm not a supporter of Rev. Don Armstrong's schismatic activism, or that of his former colleagues at the ACI, but I don't approve of what happened Sunday, when some teenaged idiot kid threw a cream pie in his face at the early service. That's just stupid and immature, and no way to treat a man of the cloth, no matter what his views. That said, Father Jake's take on "Anglican Pie" is kind of amusing, but only from one point of view. It would be funnier still if it was…
