That is Odd

My “older posts| newer posts” navigation seems to be kaput.Needless to say perhaps I was too creative with a customized Loop or 2. I started my Shopping in Brooklyn (Brooklyn♥) and used a custom query to have only that category show on that page and not in my main blog post page or anywhere else and it seems I broke my WordPress a little. I don’t have the time right now to properly obsess over it to fix it.
What I’m up to right now:
I’m unusually busy getting a staging level website design together for Lee Lee’s Valise and finishing up 2 other projects for other clients (thankfully, they are being laidback about it). I just yesterday made live a site I’d been working on for weeks and weeks. I haven’t worked that hard on one site since I overhauled my dad’s.

I just used the wordtube plugin to try to set up a site that Lisa from Lee Lee’s valise might be able to use to webscast with…right now all I’ve got loaded are image files and I’m not so sure wordtube makes for a good slideshow display. It uses Jeroen ‘s W. media player. I bought 3 licenses around 2 years ago from him and don’t even use 2 of them on any live sites anymore! Anyway, obviously wordtube is much more suitable for playlists of swfs and flvs so it’s still on my list of good plugins to have.Also it’s very easy to use and I like that. I didn’t have to think too hard to set it up at all and it didn’t interfere with everything else or my design. You probably wouldn’t be all that amazed to hear that this is kind of rare.

Who am I kidding?
There was no way I could not just go run off and figure out how to fix my Loop! I’d read about this somewhere(probably many places) that using query_posts isn’t the best way to go about what I was trying to do.
This works : < ?php query_posts($query_string . "&cat=-230"); ? >
This doesn’t : < ?php query_posts('cat=-230');? >
