Blog Stuff

I just added the WordPress Plugin: Ultimate TinyMCE. I am still experimenting with it. The plugin adds features to the WordPress Editor: TinyMCE. I have missed being able to set font family and size. Now I have those features, plus a whole load of features I’m not using… and a bunch I have no idea about what they do.

I do most of my writing in MS Word. The formatting in Word is HTML, but it is way verbose. Also, some features, like text color, cannot be copy pasted into WordPress. Much of the HTML is stripped out when pasting into WP. So, I have to do some editing within WordPress. Now it is much more fun and easy. Adding HTML code is no fun. But, these buttons make it easy.

I like adding formatting to writing to make things stand out and emphasize points. Now it is easy.

There is a large construction project in my part of the world. Tomorrow, Thursday as I write this, that means I’ll have no electricity from 8AM to 5PM. So, I won’t be posting from home. Depending on how the day goes, I may use a friend’s computer… or we may go out for food.

I’ve updated some of the software that runs this site. The big differences are in the spam blockers for comments. Let me know if something has changed or stopped working. Thanks.

Long ago I entered my WordPress.com blog into Technorati. It just occured to me to enter this blog (nalates.net) into Technorati… Duh! Some days I am a bit slow.

Thanks for your feedback on Solve Media’s Captcha widget.

In the last 24 hours I’ve gone from the escalating 1,000+ spams per day for the last few days to 74.

I am checking to see if I can save comment text entered when captcha fails.
