WP needs to calm down

I mean it’s sweet that they care so much and that they fix their code all the time but damn I upgraded just a week ago and now they want me to upgrade again? Every time I log into this site I’m working on there’s that big old warning message saying my version is out of date.

I will, but all this fuss just have tagging is a bit over my head. I really don’t care about tags. Not that much anyway.What I care about is getting that friggin top nav to not shmoosh my header title to the friggin left. sheesh.

Now I have to go out and buy an external harddrive that is compatible with mac and pc. That is what my boyfriend asked for for his birthday. We are all a big bunch of geeks around here.

Working like a dog.

And I smell like one too. I need a shower,bad.

I’ve been working non stop, setting up a client’s members site and a digital download store using zen cart and my brain. He wants to open the store officially today but we have been stressed because he is taking the big leap into selling downloads by himself rather than relying on another website to sell them for him. They take 40% of what he makes but everyone who wants his content knows about this middleman type of site-so the loss may be substantial or it might be none at all.We won’t know until the end of the weekend after he’s gone to his forum and told everyone about his store–which he will do tonight, I think.

Paypal has ok’d the use of their services because the store and website has no “full frontal nudity or sexual activity or underage kids” or other things that are too bad to mention. I checked with Paypal’s Appropriate Use people to make sure.

But eventually I hope to get a SSL and convince my client to spend a little $$ for a payment gateway because you’ve got to spend money to make money(I love that saying and it’s really true)

Like an Idiot

I decided to follow a tutorial on how pull my WordPress blog posts into my static home page just hours before I have to get on a plane. I messed up. But an hour later I had it all sorted out again except for the way a WP Query that pulls the latest post into a div at the top of the page was interacting with my other header. I didn’t have time to figure it out and now my fancy php navigation doesn’t show the current page item css. I love how any time you do one thing you end up having to do a bunch of other things to fix the thing you did.
