Playing with WordPress Plugins

Comments 0 Comment

I’ve been playing with a variety of plugins for WordPress. I’ll be nice and not list the plugins that I don’t like. These are the new plugins that I’m actually using: The most useful one is Google Sitemaps (Arne Brachhold). It creates an automatically-updating Google-compliant sitemap of your blog with a built-in configuration page for your administration panel. Excellent! The WordPress Akismet comment spam filter works really well, but I wanted something at the gate too. Even scanning the hundreds…

I spent much of the last thirty hours or so in a state of utter wretchedness. And retching. And intensified misery thinking of W. And retching. And wretched. I don’t know whether it was food poisoning, or a virus, or what. Even worst than the nausea and vomiting was the horrible alternation between the sweats and the shivers. I would just about start to get warm and then I would be soaking the sheets. Then I’d fling off the sheets…

I happened to watch the Garrison Keillor Independence Day performance of Prairie Home Companion on PBS. It was recorded at Tanglewood, which made me homesick. The music was great – all of it – and I really enjoyed all the regular segments. I have a lot of admiration for the pace now that I’ve seen it rather than just listened on the radio. I don’t think I’ve really listened to the show since my father died. The last time I…
