WordPress how-to: Custom Fields | The undersigned This explanation seems a lot clearer than the one at WordPress.com for how to to use custom fields in WP.

The Braid Blog – Two Communities Coming Together To Make… » One Bread, One Body December 31 When we go to our regular schedule on January 14, the 9 a.m. liturgy will be close to what the Holy Innocents’ liturgy has been, and the 11 a.m. liturgy will be similar to what St. Nicholas has done. In the months ahead, I will tweak both liturgies some, to make them even stronger vehicles for worship and especially to make them even more inviting to visitors. The 9 a.m. tweaking will be minor – singing the psalm and one or two more…

For a month or more, I haven’t blogged much about iTunes, because I was having a frustrating issue with iTunes, ecto, and oddly enough, AOL. A long time ago, about a million Intarwebs years or so, I had an AOL account. When I got my iPod and set up iTunes last year, I stupidly allowed the default set up to use my old AOL account name and password – hey, it asked, and the credit card was still valid. Then I came to my senses after the first month or two, created a new iTunes ID and used the same…

Taken at Maroon Bells, near Aspen, Colorado. You know, I really need to upload the rest of my photos from the October road trip. At the moment, though, I’m just testing a new beta version of ecto, 2.2.0 beta 3, and it has a very, very cool Flickr plug-in that pulls photos in very nicely, and then it applies all my fussy drop shadow doodaddery. This process would be speeded up greatly (like, Warp 10, Mr. Worf greatly) if I could log in automatically to Flickr. However, I couldn’t log in to my own personal photos to pull them, although…

Testing a few things… ecto with WordPress, specifically with the configuration I have with the WP-WYSIWYG Rich Text editor. It did not play well with the HTML coded tags in the last post, which I ought to have realized. So I will try adding the “quick tags” via ecto, which use angle brackets. Also, I want to see how it handles the little “insert current iTunes track played here” thing that ecto does. And it’s currently not working right, as it seems to remember the last thing tracked before I downloaded and installed the beta. It’s too late tonight to…

We've been having some minor technical difficulties with our feed. But now that my husband David has figured out who to set up the automatic Feedburner plugin so that it updated correctly, all seems to be good now. I updated the little feed image widget on the left column. For everyone that was reading via RSS feed, sorry! I hope you find your way back here, I didn't do do this very cleanly when I cut everything over. And I'm sorry that I put David through that – it was pretty frustrating for him while he was getting it straightened…

I was up far too late last night tinkering with this WordPress beta version of my blog, I admit that. Moments after posting a comment over at DDtB inviting folks over for a preview, I enabled a “Friends” macro to point automatically to his blog. I set it to recognize his nick, ***Dave. Then I changed a couple of style options directly, in the style.php file that my husband David has warned me repeatedly not to mess with. So I wasn’t sure what exactly I had done when I refreshed my screen to see my changes, and POOF!! No blog!…

Now it’s just a question of doing the main cutover from Movable Type to WordPress. Why? Because I was getting spam-hammered on my Holy Moly website, and MT just couldn’t deal with it, let alone get rid of it very well. I wasn’t getting as much here, but that’s because my installation here was newer and slightly more robust in the anti-spam arsenal. According to my husband David, WP is about impervious, and this particular theme, Tiga, is gravatar-ready. Soon enough, I’ll add in some dazzle via a plugin or three and fix up the header. The photo shows our…

Spider (solitaire) – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Now the truth can be told: I’m battling an addiction to Spider Solitaire, which I find both oddly compelling and relaxing. Behold teh evul! Dude, you need to deal. Also, you haven’t cleared any “tableaux” (ace through king of one of two suits) and you only have 2 hands left. You won’t be assured of winning until you clear at least 4 tableaux, out of a possible 8 in a 2-suit game. Don’t obsess about “wasted” moves as described in the Wikipedia article; if you want to win, you WANT to have an…
