Cathleen Falsani’s piece in Huffington Post on the recent kerfuffle concerning the religion of cartoon characters struck a chord with me.

Wow, it’s been years since I messed with Technorati, but here goes… just staking my claim with my nifty token. 6GCBA5SMG846
WooThemes Tumbling Along With The Tumbling Tumble Apps
Jeff has been quietly and stealthily been working on a free plugin that brings the functionality behind our popular tumblog themes to plugin format. That means you can turn your custom WP theme, or whatever theme you use, into a WordPress tumblog – easily posting images, notes, links and quotes to your site from your WordPress dashboard, or by using our iPhone app.

Ironically, I used ScribeFire to grab this link and quote the highlighted text, with one click. It’s really more for the iPhone functionality that I’m fooling with this. It’s all working for me except for individual links… I’ll revisit later to see if there’s any answer.

Yeah, still some dental horror looming.

We hardly knew ye, but we know all about the resume update you’ll have chiseled onto your tombstone.
Link: Burris Looks Back On “Big Legacy”
UPDATE: RATS! I can’t add just a link, because I didn’t want to replace my entry titles with the Tumblog entry title tag. I had to add the link and it’s title manually on this post.
Survey Links Gay Suicide To Religious Messages

So: not messages like “love your neighbor, love the sinner” but more like “hate yourself, hate your sin.”
Testing Express, an app for iPhone that is supposed to work n conjunction with the WooTumblog app.
UPDATE: Works! Still not the link-grabber bookmarklet Press This used to be before a recent “security” update, but it’s not difficult to set up a lightly edited post from the iPhone now. It’s not that easy to do links with the official WordPress app, and blockquote? Fageddaboudit, you have to go through hell just to get angle brackets.
All in all, a modified “w00t!”
Moar Boaring Testing

More testing of the WooTumblog plugin, this time with the Twenty-Ten theme enabled. I’m not sure I want to use the Tumbler-like styling… just want to see if links and quotes work.
UPDATE: Not working. I guess I need to figure out what the “simple tags” are that I need to add to my theme. Dammit.
UPDATE II: Working! Did add the woo_tumblog content tags ONLY above the excerpt and content tags in my current theme. I first tinkered with the free Twenty-Ten theme, since there were instructions specific to that theme… but Amazing Grace was easier to edit once I installed a line-numbering syntax editor plugin (DON’T ASK, it just works) to help me figure out what line I needed to edit in TT. Then I switched back to Amazing Grace and figured out where the woo_template PHP tag needed to go. I could probably use the title tag too, but switch off the Tumblog archive icon, but don’t need to.
Forget Blog Tweaks, We’ve Got Plumbing Problems
Aside
While I was tinkering under the hood of the blog working on the new plugin, David was tinkering under the hall bathroom sink working on the faucet. A crash, some swear words, and an ominous splattering sound foretells a trip to the hardware store in our future. But first, Chipotle for lunch, because we’ve learned that tinkering on an empty stomach foretells disaster.
