Q’s Place is still under construction - and about Spam
I have to find a good theme: Some look great at first but the text starts drifting across columns, or picture don’t quite stay put - at least, where I thought I put them. Others … I tried one and couldn’t find my way back into this site management place: Q was locked out of [...]
Problems with: win.edInsertContent
OK, that image was done in Microsoft Windows Exolorer. The post immediately before was with Firefox, my default (and preferred) browser. I had gone into Site Admin > Settings > Writing-settings and unchecked “WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically” . I thought I was dung frying (that’s ‘doing fine, by the way, in spellunker [...]
Winows crashes revisited: They are not inevitable!
So all these problems with MS Windows (Praise Gates!) have been completely unnecessary! There has been, all these years, a ‘hidden’ options screen, apparently since April 1st of the year 2000. Bring it up and contrary to Microsoft instructions, uncheck all the deafault settings.
Oh by the way: remember Widows Millennium Edition? Me? Yes, I feel [...]
New post at my other web log. Meanwhile, on open-source software
I’ve entered a new post at Senior Web Log, Mostly by Knight.

Ubuntu installed
But images didn’t load in this WordPress installation The problem has appeared before (and now, on the other web-log Mostly by Knight, the same.

Deactivated AJAX plug-in, no difference. Will have to look at the WP 2.5 setup - though this one was not an upgrade: it’s set up under [...]
Let the good times roll! Am I done with computer crashes?
Open Office: It is a wonder we use Microsoft Getting used to it can take a while, the Ways of Word are very ingrained. Open Office has a huge number of extra features and I see no reason for not making it the default suite here, but I’m not yet confident enough to use it for submissions on-line, where the finished product will probably be opened with Microsoft Word.
Here we go, round again!
Experimenting with the theme, after the web log became inaccessible from a corrupted change I made to a new one I loaded - it was supposed to show pictures, and somehow that feature made the post impossible to load. Got back in, though, directly through /wp-admin, so that’s a lesson learned for another time; [...]

Happy birthday!
