future posts

This is a test for sending a future post. It is now 10:45pm. I’ll see what happens if I set the post for 10:50pm.

Totally cool… It just showed up at 10:50pm.

enron movie

I went to the movies today and saw a very good documentary called Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room. I wanted to see it because someone had told me that it explains what they did in terms that anyone can understand. This turned out to be true and in addition, it has the bonus of some really cool music (I really liked the song played during the end credits - reminded me of Cabaret).

Go see it if you can.

posting photos

Let’s see if uploading photos works. Here’s the code to display it:

That doesn’t seem to work… hmmm. Okay, now I’m adding the code from Flickr:

Okay,… I had to add the complete path in order for the image to show up. What I had was:

img src='/wp-content/banner.jpg' alt='banner'

But I needed this:

img src="http://planet48.net/starfire/wp-content/banner.jpg" alt='banner'

Also, the upload page does not seem to generate the thumbnail it says it will.
I’ve now changed the settings to use the full path. If it works, then there should be a favicon displayed

After reading stuff in the support forum, it appears that WP doesn’t generate the code for the thumbnail, just the code for the actual image. You have to put the thumbnail stuff in yourself, with a pointer to the larger image I guess.

acquiring themes

Okay, so now I have found out not only how to change the themes, but also where to find a boatload of themes. I’ve also been reading up on CSS and XHTML. Fascinating stuff has transpired since I first dabbled in HTML.

I found this draft that I forgot about. I have no idea when I started it. So, I’ll just post it for today.
