Thank you for your patience..
Wish me luck!!

Wow, It seems you can make anything seem cool if you just add a Zeppelin soundtrack to it.

Well on second thought my son may just be so damn cute he’s cool with or without Zep tunes, let’s just pray he chooses to be cool with them!

I’m really enjoying this new WordPress plug-in I installed called Wp-FLV. It simplifies and beautifies embedding flash video files (FLV) into your WP posts and/or pages. What you end up with is a much nicer appearance than embedding in Windows Media Player.
You also end up with much smaller video files. I’ve learned how to convert my .MPG an .MOV video files into FLV, this alone shaved nearly 55Mb off the above file(79,673Kb down to 24,006Kb).

You can download it directly from the authors site, Roel Meurder, where he offers support and yes, a better explanation of what it does.
Thank You Roel.

This evening I’ll be upgrading the site. I’ve done my Backups but I’m still terrified I’m going to loose everything…
Fingers crossed and wish me luck.

Moving WordPress « WordPress Codex

I’ve been procrastinating moving my blog because I assumed it would be a real bitch.
WordPress yet again read my mind and has added this very simple (sounding) walkthrough. I’m sure it will be a breeze.

I’m trying to work through all my Xhtml errors and fix them, unfortunately the Automatic wp-player plugin is causing me a lot of headaches. I think it’s probably something I’m doing but I don’t know enough to know if that’s the case..Doesn’t that suck, I’m not wise enough to know what I don’t know. That’s definitely a sign of a Noob!
I’ll see how far I get, fingers crossed

O.k I have the Player working, it appears at the bottom of the sidebar. Sometimes you have to hit a link twice to get the song to play, not sure why. I also haven’t figured out the css and how to get the actual player to show. I know it has something to do with the theme directory Automatix..
Thank you Automatic jack for your hard work

UPDATE: I spoke to soon, I can’t seem to get either song to play now and the design has changed. I’m going to do a shot and pay my husband some much needed attention. I’ll work on it maybe tomorrow most likely Saturday.

I absolutely love this theme. The Authors have made it so easy to personalize, especially the header image. Today I was able to add clouds in the background using Photoshop 5.0 LE. It only took me a few minutes to make 5 versions. Each versions changes the transparency of the clouds making it appear to be a different time of day. I used the above picture as my cloud fill. If you like feel free to use it yourself, I would love to know their was someone out there who liked and used one of my pictures!
