Sounds pretty alarming-there is a new version of WP that fixes a bug that might allow hackers to do something with post drafts and I have eleven of those.If you have WP you saw this the last time you logged in and this isn’t news to you.So why am I writing a post about it? Because I just freaking updated all my client’s sites and most recently my own to v.231. I am too tired to do it now. I don’t really care about my site but I hope nothing happens to my client’s sites.
Month: December 2007
New year and stuff
Finish what I start.
Be nicer(be more nice?).
See movies in theaters,instead of just on cable.
Take on more projects instead of endlessly tweaking the old ones so that I don’t have time to do new projects…see resolution no.1.
Fix all my old SEO mistakes.
Go to bed earlier.
Eat less red meat(I have a headstart on this one).
Drink more water.
See my friends more often.
See my dad more often.
I guess that is a lot…
But I’ve aimed low so that I can actually do it,except the be nicer one.I am a mean old lady.
Finally upgraded to 2.31
I’d done it for all of my client’s sites weeks ago but neglected my own.Then I had to sort through all my many posts in order to tag them.Tedious but I want to have just a few categories show up in my sidebar and using tags instead of lots of categories makes this easier to do.The problem is that each category(there are a lot) is a searchable link so if I delete them someone might get the 404 message and I don’t want that.
My categories are now sorted into 3 main ones,Tech and Personal and Recipes.I made a Page template with a modified loop so now posts with those categories show up only on the right pages.
In order to make my Tag Cloud look like a cloud and not a list I had to change the code in my sidebar.If your tag cloud looks like a list and not a cloud it is because you have or the theme designer did make everything in your side bar a list.You could simply grab the code for the template tag for tag cloud and paste it into your sidebar.That is what I did.Then I removed the list making html.Right now I am not using the widgets until I have the time to figure it out 100%.But since it is xmas eve I am all set to cook a very large dinner and a cheesecake and I do not have the time to continue messing with the sidebar for now.
Ditching your wardrobe.
I think I overdosed on Tim Gunn’s Guide to Style. I cleaned out my closets, getting rid of quite a lot of clothes. I really envied the women he advised being able to walk to their closets or dressers and pick out surefire outfits they knew looked good on them.I have never been able to do that and it pissed me off.I also don’t have any of the 10 things on the checklist they say every woman needs to have in order to be in style except one very tatty old cashmere sweater and a couple of black dresses.
After about 4 episodes I thinned my closet of all the clothes I had that I didn’t wear or that didn’t look good on me which left me with hardly anything to wear at all. This show ought to have have a warning label of don’t try this at home unless you have a 5,000 clothes budget to replace everything you just gave to charity (or bagged, meaning to give to charity).
I veered toward black,baggy clothes pretty much all my life (body issues) except while in art school. But I was thinner. For me, wearing colorful more body conscious clothes goes hand in hand with how thin I think I am. The bigger I feel the bigger and blacker the clothes I buy. It’s definitely time to lose 15 pounds. Easier said than done but my weight and the style of clothes I buy and wear go hand in hand. I really won’t like anything I try on until I lose a bit of weight.
So it seems I will put off really restocking my closet or else I will end up with just another batch of heavy black shrouds in my closet. Besides, now that it is winter all I need is a great new coat! A. is getting me one for my birthday.Yay.
