Comments Don’t Seem to Work for IE Users – FIXED!

I’ll spare you all the “you should be using a real browser” lecture for right now, and just let you know: I’ve tried to post a comment to my latest post in IE7, and I got stuck on the wp-comments.php page. Right now, I don’t know whether it’s a WordPress bug, an IE7 bug, or something in my theme since I’ve upgraded to WP 2.7. So, for all of you that want to leave a comment and can’t, rest assured that I’ll get to fix this when I can!

Oh, and by the way, commenting is working for me in Firefox 3.0.5, and it’s a free download.

UPDATE: Looks like it was a plugin causing the problem.  I use Link Love to take away the nofollow restriction on links in comments.  Guess I’ll be looking for a new plugin for that feature!

Change is in the Air

The human experience is full of change.  Nothing is consistent and nothing is guaranteed.  Some parents wish that their children would never grow up, because at each stage of life there’s something new and unique to enjoy.  People enter and leave our lives at various times, and try as we might we are not able to keep them where we want them.

It’s In The Pictures

Almost every post that I’ve done for the last year has had a photo attached to it.  As one of the Quick Reviewer at Is This Modest?, part of my job is to look through images and judge whether they’re modest.

Photography conveys emotion.  It conveys feeling.  It’s an art-form.

A good photographer can make the subject of their image come alive.  They can work magic with Photoshop to make you look your best.

And the neat thing is that with the proliferations of digital cameras and photo sharing sites, there have been many photography blogs that have come along side to help us figure out how to take photos and what to do with them after we’ve taken them.

Is Your Blog Mobile?

One of the neat things about technology is that it never stays put.  As hardware and software innovates into smaller spaces and more powerful applications, we get to take information with us anywhere.

This is both a blessing and a curse.  A blessing in that what we want to know when we want to know it is not far away.  A curse in that we actually have to take steps to leave it and not get sucked in.

How Would You Rate Your Web Host?

If you were to sit down and write a list of the things that you’d think that would make a good web host, what would make your list?

Would good web hosting include…
