Hi! This is how I'm going to use the app. This blog is mine alone. I make no money off of it, but I'm lazy and want to use my plugin (xyzscripts) to post automatically to FB. 1) I log into my wordpress site. 2) I make a post and hit 'publish' 3) XYZ script plugin uses my app info to post to my blog's FB page. Let's see how it goes. *** edited to add: Facebook is making me submit a developer app to get my blog to post automatically to facebook. Wheee! ...
Webkeeping
It's a lazy Saturday on Literary Lane, so I'm going to spend it troubleshooting . Time for stream of consciousness post! Things that are causing problems - and these are all on the backend: HTTP errors when uploading photos that are under 2MB - AGAIN >> it's not the php.ini file OR the captcha that LunarPages installed. A WordPress error file that's going batshit crazy SERIOUSLY crazy. This is written every time I access the site: [04-Feb-2017 09:40:09 America/Los_Angeles] PHP Warning: ...
What do Ariana Grande and I have in common?
(Besides our killer bods and dumptrucks full of cash) I don't know much about Ariana Grande other than she covered Wham!'s Last Christmas* on the Michael Buble special and I think she did okay with it. But this image came up in a search I was doing** and I nearly died... LOOK AT THE FONT! WE HAVE THE SAME FONT! It's Bounce being sold through Letterhead Fonts. I bought it years ago (pre-2006) for around $40 and swore since I spent that much money, I'd never use another font. It's adorable ...
October webkeeping
Cleaned up the site a bit today, and I want to start sharing where I get things from. Because it's the right thing to do. I added a new header for October! The top border came from a vintage label via The Graphics Fairy. The slight texture to the pumpkin came from Gravityx9's Flickr photo. The font is Letterhead Bounce I paid $35 for many years ago and will use on this site until I die. The background graphic is from CG Vector. I also cleaned up my links over to the left. Culled some dead ...
Rabbit Rabbit – December
Apparently on this blog, NoBloPoMo means NO Blog Posting Month. So here's some catchup. I went to New Orleans for a business trip in early November. I ate with wild abandon. Mary Poppins came in second place at the office Halloween party. She decided to celebrate! I'm still with this cute fellow: I started playing Tiny Tower on my phone, and I think it killed the Candy Crush monster. WM is a big Doctor Who fan, so I watched the 50th anniversary show with him. I didn't understand a ...
Friday Five: In Retrospect
Oof, this week was a tough one. We're starting up our Summer Fridays schedule. We bank 7 extra hours over 2 weeks, and get every other Friday ofF. Sweeeet deal, but I've been starting an hour earlier each day to bank my hours, and sheesh. I miss that hour in the mornings. My first Friday off is next week. It's pretty sad when my first thought is: "Ah! I should schedule a dentist appointment or my mammography for that day!" Oh, adulthood, you are twisted and unfair. I removed my BlogHer ad ...
About the holiday header
That's actually a scan of the Christmas card we sent out a few years ago. We used VistaPrint's* little cartoon creator and I loved how it turned out. So all I had to do was scan it in, add my title using my font**, and boom, instant holiday header. Lazy or ingenious? You decide! ~~~~~~~~~~~~ *Not a sponsored post. But it could be! Show me the money! **That darn font that I spent $35 on back when I was married to a pharmacist and didn't think twice about dumping $35 on a FONT. That's why my ...
A LadyGypsy by another name?
Sit back, dear cookie crumbs, and listen to a tale of changing times... Back in 1994 when I first logged into Prodigy chat, I picked the username Gypsy72 after the robot from MST3K. Wait...did I write this before? Oh...I did. Anyway, it came to my attention last month that Gypsy is slowly becoming recognized as more and more of a racial slur as the years go by. And that's troubling. I've had this online persona forever in Internet years and I don't know what to do. I decided that for each ...
Yoo-hoo! I'm back!
That was just weird. No matter what password I entered into my login box, nothing happened. I changed a bunch of passwords, deleted a bunch of junk from my FTP directories, installed a different theme and now it seems to work. Tweaks will occur because this layout is ghastly, but for now...it's good to be back! Happy September. ...
