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 Q’s Place!.

Pretty can? The Original:

Still working on this site. “Q’s Place” is a little low on an overcrowded priority list.  Mrs Q and I discuss what might go here. It’s definitely be the place to put personal things,  for friends and family as well as any that wander by and care for the kind of things we post.  writing of course, and home making as we haven’t been able to settle down yet; for oh so many reasons!

This morning though there were forty seven messages spam queue, blocked by the wonderful WordPress Akismet plugin.  Wonderful software,  that!. But the topmost was nasty – a few hundred lines of filth. So long that it wasn’t practical to search back for any genuine messages.

So if I haven’t acknowledged a genuine post: my apologies. Please post again. I know I should check in more often and look at comments held by Akismet before the list gets too long … of course it wouldn’t have done anything about the garrulous pornographer of that long, long comment.

Of course, one can just let the sewage through and then collect from Adsense? I doubt it, the good people at Google must be wise to that one, ages ago. Whatever,  it’s sad to see so many twerps and nitwits using up bandwidth like this. Nitwits and twerps is too mild for those sad sacks that make a living promoting the junk.

Until the next one, soon I hope. Pictures of where we used to live.

Where we are now – which is also where we hope to move out from.

And some grandchildren pictures, and great pictures of great grandchildren as well.

Meanwhile …

Please don’t open the can !

Q

 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 checker) but alas, not so: Next time around the darn problem came up again. So this is in IE – and seems to be working. Oh well, if anyone knows anything about this, please don’t heitsate to comment. Comment anyway! Q’s place is welcome to all.

Q

Not uploading images (again)

This is the script that leads to the error:

/ send html to the post editor
2function send_to_editor(h) {
3 var win = window.opener ? window.opener : window.dialogArguments;
4 if ( !win )
5 win = top;
6 tinyMCE = win.tinyMCE;
7 if ( typeof tinyMCE != ‘undefined’ && ( ed = tinyMCE.getInstanceById(‘content’) ) && !ed.isHidden() ) {
8 tinyMCE.selectedInstance.getWin().focus();
9 tinyMCE.execCommand(‘mceInsertContent’, false, h);
10 } else
11 win.edInsertContent(win.edCanvas, h);
12}

And this is the error message:

win.edInsertContent is not a function
[Break on this error] win.edInsertContent(win.edCanvas, h);

Is there anyone out there that knows what’s going on? I am missing something. The problem is sporadic, and this was a 35K JPEG picture.

Q

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; as no doubt there will be many, many more. Now the Sitemeter counter seems to have gone. Steam on regardless! In this place, we must learn by doing, no other way!
