Abraid

WordpressThis is the download button on the Wordpress download page. If you were wondering why we were down for a little bit earlier today, it’s because we were updating our website to the new Wordpress platform. If you have not done so yet, it can be downloaded from here. It’s not a huge difference from 2.5, but I do enjoy the changes. The word count has to be my favorite new feature.

As you can see from today’s photo I upgraded Wordpress for all of my blogs today. You have no idea how long that process is. I never thought it would end. It took most of the day. It’s done now, at least. Now I can work on the other things I need to write for the night.

I’m guessing you noticed that I didn’t get a post up on Thursday. I was hoping I would be able to, but I really didn’t get a chance. I had to go to town that morning and when I got home, I went straight to work. Once I was done it was late and I has a vicious headache that made it really hard to concentrate on anything. I still have a bit of it now, but thankfully it has faded enough to not affect me too badly. I try hard not to miss posts, but unfortunately I can’t always avoid it.

Today I wanted to make use of my time so I decided to start on an article idea that I had. Once it’s done I intend to pass it around to different free article directories with resource links back to my websites as a kind of promotion. I think it has a lot of potential and should help bring in more people to Write To Press as well as Ask Angel and here. Without giving it completely away the article is based around a work-at-home styled topic. Something I would hope I know something about considering I do work from home.

I bought a new bathing suit. It had been so hot, I have needed a new one desperately, and most of all I wanted to take Aubree outside to play in the sprinkler. None of which has happened yet. Today was the first day I was going to get a chance, and it rained. Tomorrow has a potential for rain also. Lets not forget Monday too!

Where has all this rain come from?

On top of that our lawn needs mowed pretty badly. Unfortunately with all that heat we’ve had lately, it’s something I have actively avoided. It’s hot enough sitting. Why do I want to move around more than I have to under the steaming sun? Either this rain will flash burn the grass under the sun or make it grow, a lot. I am hoping for it to kill the grass off.

Holy crap were the two words that came to mind when I read this article about a man being charged over $11k for 2 months of internet from Verizon. The average person knows 50mbs are not that much, but obviously this poor man was duped by the sales man. I am glad the news reporter was able to do something for this man, getting his bill waived.

Then there was this other thing I read during the week that even made me second guess my typing skills. What if there were no letters on the keys? Would you be able to still type out everything correctly?

I vote, no. Even though I don’t look at the keys while I type, I do look at them when placing my fingers. I have also had moments where I put my fingers on the wrong keys to start and would type something along the lines of, “98hrewkjnfdoy” before catching myself. At the asking price of $129, I will pass.

Today is Product Review Saturday, and I have a new product I am really looking forward to reviewing today: my printer. I’ve had it for a little while now, I think it’s pretty handy and I look forward to letting all of you know what I think of it. Otherwise, I am going to go ahead and end this post now. Have a good weekend. Tomorrow will be Inspiring Business Sunday.
