DISQUS

Oooo! Yes it is!

<abbr>Andrea_R’s last blog post..May I always have time to quilt</abbr>

Yep, I'm boring too. I work then I putter.

kinda nice tho...

I use the upgrade plugin for version prior to 2.7, which has it integrated. :)

HEY! I made one too! :D Love your fabric choices, they look really fun.

Not the online ones. :) Sometimes they had a limited audience, but mostly they were public.

And before we had zines online we have personal diaries or journals. :)

Actually, TweetDeck, once you learn to use it, can get you through the highlights of Twitter pretty darn quickly. The key is to *group* the people you follow.

I turn TweetDeck off when I'm working, and on a break, I check out (as in quickly skim) just the groups of people I really need to. (work-related, close friends)

andrea_r: twitter user since 2007. ;)

Yeah, I'm left handed and so is my husband. 3 of our 4 children are *right* handed. Although one of thsoe sometimes uses her left because our computers are set up lefthanded.

Read Facebook's Terms of Service - whatever you upload to their site becomes *their* data. And by signing up and clicking "yes I agree" you, well, agree to it.

Do I think it's wrong and it sucks? Yes. But they've covered their ass well. If it's their data, they can do what they like with it.

I haven;t signed up and I'm not going to. If people cannot be bothered to find and connect with me via any other means than Facebook, well I don't know what to tell them. (They certainly aren't friends.)

I'm not sure how much you can memorize. unless by repetition it sticks and become rote. Is it the fact I do it over and over what makes me remember it? interesting. :)

Ah, but in the knowledge-based industry, if you are constantly looking up the same things, then they aren't sticking in your mind. maybe the person isn't invested in "remembering" it, maybe it's something not used enough. Like Stephen said above me - if you are constantly using the fundamentals, you won't need practice.

I can even give a good example: I am constantly looking up how to create horizontal menus via CSS. Sure, it's relatively easy once you read the code and understand. But a part of me doesn't want to remember or something, as it is easier to just copy and paste the code I need and make adjustments.

Then again, it's something I use only occasionally. It's not like I'm always looking up how to style links.

WOW.

That's some breathtaking stupid right there.

On my two regualr public blogs, there's only enough themes to show on one screen.

But on my development installs, and on my WPMU installs? Well, one of those has a couple hundred, and that was *after* I moved some themes I didn't need to play with any more. :D Even if I kept one install down to just themes I'm working on, there's still quite a bit to wade through.

A search for themes would be nice - also, why would the themes show what they are tagged with, if they weren't planning on some way to use that function?

that's awesome news. :)

Funnily enough, in WordpressMU, the install process writes the config file. If you try and edit it beforehand, like the single user version, you'll screw it up.

Dude, did you read my blog yet today? Go. DO IT.

last spring, I think it was, there was a gunman on campus at one of the US's universities. Some of the people I follow were there, and they used twitter back and forth, silently, so they could hide, get out of the way, and find exits.

I think in this case maybe only one person was shot? Or maybe none. It was very little anyway.

Woot! looks exciting! :)

Wha... ?

Hey, I;m still reading. :) Glad you opened up comments cuz it always gave me issues.

And I have an aversion to memes, REMEMBER?

I'll tell people you don't have an accent if you tell people I don't have one. :P

I'm a WordPress Mu developer, specializing in niche blog sites. :) I'm more the "bring this cool feature to my site and make it work" kind of gal.

I also take pretty pictures and sew items soon to be for sale.

Upgrading to php5. Really, that's it.

Haven't got around to it on the server nor locally.

I think it depends. I mean, I'm kind of in the same place you are - maybe I'm too nice. I have helped out a bit on political sites and personal sites with content I disagree with. I guess it depends on how much I disagree with the content and if the person behind it is offensive.

I also try to be as helpful as possible, so overall I'd have to say yes, unless they give me a strong and compelling reason to feel otherwise.

I would, and have, help out others who are a differing religion or sexual orientation.

Now that I think of it, I did turn down an offer to work to work on an anti-abortion site, mostly because I really disagreed with the focus that the campaign was taking on the website & in the media.

Would that be the same header image cropper that is in wordpress by default, like with the default theme? You can also see it in action for some themes at wp.com.

WordpressMU makes an excellent base for a blog networks if you want a *series* of blogs on one site. Picture each author with their own blog on your network, rather than an author section. :D

And many of the standard plugins for regualr wordpress work in MU (you do have to check though). The added bonus is that MU can do things easily that is a bit of work in regular wordpress.

The only downside is that MU is server software and you have to either know what you're doing to get it set up, or have someone knowledgeable do it for you.

But if you think big, MU is perfect. I wrote a post here you might find interesting:

It talks about blog networks and WPMU.
