New Plugin-Daikos Youtube Widget

An interesting little plugin, Daikos Youtube Widget, which allows one to embed Youtube vid’s on the sidebar in one of two ways: either just as a tiny vid (I have mine set to 170 pixels wide), or, by using the Thickbox plugin that comes with, you can have them pop up. I am avoiding using […]

Free Money For Soldiers Angels-Sticky Post

You know you want to give. But, you can give and it isn’t even your money. Easy ’nuff? Go to Squidoo. Scroll down. Pick the charity you want to give to. A charity say, like, Soldiers Angels. Your vote is worth $2. Squidoo has $80,000 to give away, and they will give $2 per vote to […]

Religion Of Peace Obama Takes Macsmind Down

This is MacRanger of Macsmind. As you know I was hacked by operatives of the Obama Campaign last month. Well, it happened again. Basically they flooded the site with “sql bombs” according to the host that caused the shared server to stop running. Subsequently be had to disable the site. This had to do with […]

Google Chrome Part 2

To follow up on my quick post on Google Chrome, it is still lightning fast. It is a great platform for cruising the Interwebz. Not so great for blogging. When you do a cut and paste from other sites in to the WordPress visual editor, it adds TONS of font scripts which come from the […]

By now, most know about the AP’s new project to charge bloggers and other linkers $12.50 to $100 for excerpts, based on number of words. Now, everyone thinks that the AP is shooting itself in the foot. I disagree. Why? Because, in fact, this whole kerfuffle is actually a conspiracy between Dubya and Howie “Scream” […]

Add Media Issue Fix For WP 2.5

So, you’ve upgraded to WordPress 2.5, and, damnitall! you can’t embed photos while using Internet Explorer. WTF? What did you do wrong? Are you going to have to reinstall the whole damned thing? The answer would be “no.” You can hunt and peck around, particularly in the WordPress.org forums, and you will get a bunch […]

Plugins That Do Not Work In WP 2.5

So far, I cannot find any plugin for smilies that works, or at least works like it should, for smilies. The one I am using, Custom Smilies, ends up completely at the bottom of the Write Post/Page. Have tried about 5 others, no dice. But, what you can do with Custom Smilies is to right […]

2.5 Upgraded

Seems to be working just, but, the Inline more button is missing from the visual editor. Try it manually  Did it work?  Gotta replace the custom smileys plugin, since it appears all the way at the bottom of the write page, can’t move it. FYI, some people may be thinking that the button they usually […]
