My favorite Wordpress widget in months: Collapse-O-Matic. So much fun! :-D

I learned something today: Did you know that Wordpress has a hidden options page in the admin? You DID? WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME :-)

The most apropros marketing I've run into this year so far has been Updraftplus Migrate....

"Are you a developer? Or, are you moving your website from one address to another? Do you have a need to clone your WordPress site at a different location (web address/URL)? The 'migrator' add-on is for these situations. Use it just once, and you’ll save enough time to justify the purchase price!"

Dang it, yes, yes, yes and that's true! Bought it, love it. :-)

Considering teaching a course in HTML and CSS next fall. That actually sounds like a fun & rewarding thing to do. :-)

I wanted to share solutions I have to find the hard way (myself) to pay it forward to all the kind souls who saved me time on plenty of other problems by by posting their solutions for me to find. Here is my new blog, where I throw my two cents into the void. :-) [I'll add a menu tomorrow.]

Slideshows/Sliders are a dime a dozen. I paid $15 for this one and still had to finish coding it myself. AARGH. :-)

The validator said I needed to add a "scope" attribute I never heard of before to my style tag. So I added it, and got this warning: "The scoped attribute on the style element is not supported by browsers yet. It would probably be better to wait for implementations." D'oh!!! :-)

Slick little widgets don't always play nice with the W3C Validator. Working my way through the naughty ones on my page, check out this tip that shouldn't work but does: make and comment out a div with the attributes that facebook is looking for. HA! :-) Validates, yet still gets picked up by facebook.

Does it feel like midnight to anyone else right now? Dang I miss that 9 pm sundown!

Trolling Craigslist to see if there's any work I'd like to do, I find an heartwarming ad for help with a website that lists a laundry list of desired qualifications including living within ten miles of the job, "Must be skilled in all areas of website, SEO and maintenance of site... get things done quickly... work with new technologies... [solve] difficult technical problems... excellent verbal and written communication skills... Having said all this we are not not looking nor able to afford an high end web expert, so please keep this in mind before applying"

I think I could work up being indignant if I hadn't seen so many variants of this already. "You must be an expert in everything, but oh yeah we won't be paying you." Grrr. Argh. Pbthbthb.

Thank you all so much! I garnered enough likes to install a facebook widget on my site, which shows some of your smiling faces and makes me smile back every time I visit. Too bad I can't shrink the status portion to be any shorter, it's kinda huge. :-)

I would appreciate it very much if y'all would like my business page. I will occasionally be posting nerdy things and work commentary. I made an animation for the cover photo with a kitteh surprise and everything, but facebook doesn't let it through so there's a link on this page. I am ridiculously pleased with it! :-)
