Leave me a comment and get a link!

by

I added a new feature to my site. Did you notice what it is yet?

If you look near the bottom of this post you will see a link to the people who have commented on this post- well if anyone leaves a comment. If there’s no comment yet look at the post before this one. You see the links?

I must thank Debbie from Blossoming Heart Capture for sending me the wordpress plugin – Comment-plugger.

The plugin is set up so that whenever someone leaves me a comment their name will show underneath the post they commented on, and if they have a website and left the link their name will be linked to their site. Cool huh?

I’m still tinkering with the set up. When I first installed it, the plugin was listing the commenters name in a long list. That took up too much space so I played with it a bit. Right now it’s set to show the links for the first 10 people that comment but I think I can raise that amount.

If anyone that’s reading this post also uses comment plugger and knows how to customize it even more, please write to me and give me some tips.

Anyway, I think this plugin is mutually beneficial for me and for my readers. Hopefully more lurkers will leave comments since they’ll automatically get a link; and I’ll get a few more comments. Plus Plus.

If the comment links don’t look right – misaligned, messing up the posts or whatever, would you please be kind and let me know? I’ve viewed my site in IE, Netscape, and Firefox and it seems to be working fine in each browser, but if it’s not working for you let me know, and tell me what browser you are using too. Thanks!





Online Coupons

by

Everyone loves to save some money don’t they? Well, I’ve been cruising around the net again and I think I might have found a site that you’ll like, unless of course you don’t mind paying full price for things? Nah, you’re not like that, you want to save money if you can. See I know my peeps.

What I’ve found is a site that offers online coupons for many well known companies that you might already be purchasing items from anyway. Why not go to this site and grab a coupon discount on a product you’ve been eyeing?

You should see all the others they have listed for Overstalk.com right now. There’s free shipping offers, Percentages off for new customers coupons. You name it. I’m sure you’ll find a store there that you’d like to do business with and save money at the same time. Go see for yourself!

WordPress haunted?

by

Have any other wordpress users had odd things happen when they were writing a post lately?

I have four blogs, and I use both WordPress 2.03 (on three of them) and WordPress 2.04 and I’ve noticed something funny lately when I’m typing out a post.

You know those tabs on the right hand side and at the bottom of the post? Discussion, Post slug, categories, optional excerpt? Well mine have been moving around on their own lately.

Yeah it’s true. So how could that happen?

I’ll be writing away and notice that, for example, the post time stamp tab is at the top of the list on the right. I’ll click on the post to save and continue editing and then the edit time stamp will be in the middle or at the bottom and categories will be at the top. This happens on both my laptop and desktop computer so I don’t think it’s a virus, and if it is it’s a pretty strange one.

Has anyone else had this problem? Well, not really that much of a problem, but irritating inconvenience perhaps?

Nocturnal Turtle

by

First, a Friday Funny – It’s short, cute and well uh explosive:

I just love the little grin at the end!

_____________________________

We’ve already established that I’m nocturnal, but it seems that my turtle, who should be sleeping through the night, has decided to have a party every night!

It’s not like the living room lights are on and keeping him up. He’s in the dark and he should be sleeping. But he’s not. The last two nights, or should I say early mornings, he’s become very active at about 4 a.m. Maybe he’s training for the Olympics? Planning the great escape?

He comes out of his shelter, then he attempts to climb on top of his home. He usually doesn’t get to the top on the first try. Nope, he noisily attempts to climb it several times, falling backwards most of the time, and occasionally falling into his shallow water dish. When he finally reaches the top he decides he wants off the shelter. So what does he do? He jumps off of it into his water dish.

Then the whole cycle begins again.

Box turtles have hard shells and when he’s banging around you can hear him through the whole house!

Shhhhhhhhh Spaz, you’ll wake Chris up. I’m surprised his girlfriend Myrtle never seems to wake up when he gets busy.
