…have you seen all the social media management tools out there? Sheesh. If you have more than one social media account, you can use one of these “buckets” to keep them all on the same page — or screen, if you prefer that term. These are just the ones I’ve used. TweetDeck — I used [...]
WordCamp was yesterday. As I mentioned elsewhere, I planned to be there, and I was. I drove down in the early morning (had to be there a little before eight to start serving kolaches and coffee) and didn’t get unduly hot on the way, in my un-air-conditioned car. I was able to listen to the [...]

It didn’t look that different from my previous home. I could breathe the air. The sky was blue, the grass green (except where it was starting to turn a dry, crispy brown), the temperature hot. I could find my way around okay. Places I visited looked much the same. And like it or not, I [...]

Nothing stays the same. Especially in the cyberverse. Not only does WordPress update the blogging platform, but authors of the various themes make improvements changes that they publish to the WP site, which sends out little nags to those bloggers using those themes. So I got a couple of updates to this theme. Now all [...]

I signed up to go to this thing as soon as I heard about it. It’s going to be in Houston (not that far to drive even in an un-air-conditioned car), at the Houston Museum of Natural History (one of my favorite places on the planet), I could afford the registration fee (a considerable consideration), [...]
So. I found some more themes I thought might work for my blog, and this one looks like the best candidate, so far. I was able to use my title banner, and, so far, I’m not finding odd gaps in the text wrapped around photos. I realized after I started using my “back-up” theme again, [...]
So. The other day I decided to test drive some new themes. But I didn’t like them, so I switched back to “Tweaker” because even if nobody else sees him, I would still rather see the large image of my dog as the background. Call me sentimental. But this morning when I decided to post [...]
Since I’ve discovered how drab this blog looks for people who view it using Internet Explorer (a.k.a. I-frakking-E), which is the browser most people use, I think the time has come to start shopping around for a new theme. When I first launched my blog, I changed themes about once a week, because I had [...]

Yeah. Sucks. I did not know that my painstakingly crafted background photo of the infamous CrazyEddie Basenji did not show up in the Internetfrakking Explorer browser. I almost never use Internetfrakking Explorer, even though it is the most ubiquitous browser out there, even though there are much better browsers out there. Since I’m really a [...]

I just wanted to post a few more photos to see if my blog is still eating the captions I add. This only started happening after I added the latest update. Gah. I may have to sleuth through the WordPress forums to find out how to fix it.
