Month: November 2001

I feel like one of those rodeo calf-roper people who rush to finish roping the calf and then tosses their hand up in the air to signal that they have completed their task. *hand flies up* You now have pop-up windows for comments (again). They work in the Venice skin, and I have to test the other skins. Then I have to figure out how to “skin” the comment window. I thought I had it figured out, I created a file named “commentheader1.php” and changed the code to reference that instead of header1.php – but it didn’t work. I am on the verge of falling asleep, so I decided that was a sign that the plain white comment window would do for a day. After I skin the comment window and that is working then I will add that “remember me” code in so that you don’t have to keep entering your info.

More tweaking to come – but not tonight!

The other big news for today? I had yet another client meeting today which went really well. Then when I got back to the office I set up a meeting with a potential client in Atlanta for next Tuesday. We fly out at … 7am. So we have to be at the airport at 5am. UGH. Unfortunately the person going to the meeting with me is going to be driving to Dallas on that Tuesday night, so we need to be back in Houston at 5pm. But … for those of you that know the true tales of the FC, I am just stunned that I am actually taking a trip to meet with a client at last!

I forgot to mention last night that the 4th graders at Jason’s school had a music program last night where they did a “Railroad Tour Across America”. It was great – they sang different folk songs from across the nation and gave background information on the songs, how they came about, what types of music they inspired – I really enjoyed it. I took a few pictures which I will post later this week. It was really a sweet performance!

My problems with MT were caused … by me. I don’t want it to get a bad rap or anything. I am sure I have some tiny innocent piece of code that is messing up something that is preventing my pop-up windows from working. I just figured if I tried out the Default Templates then I would be able to find my bug as I “rebuilt” the skins around them. Actually, the pop-ups were working for a little bit last night, but pulling in pictures too – and as I “fixed” them I messed it all up. Truly an ID-10-T error.

One reason I am REALLY glad I have moved over and need to move the Well, Slap Me Silly site tonight is the fact that I can click that “Post to MT Blog” button and select which blog to post too. This is really handy for me. I also plan on using Categories later.

But my problems with MT are due to me being a goober and trying to work on it when I am tired. I should know better!

In order to figure out why my pop-up windows wouldn’t work, this site might just be going to the Default Templates of MovableType (which is what Worth Keeping and Betty Crocker Wannabe are already using…) Just thought I would warn you so that you didn’t wonder what the heck was going on. From there I will “rebuild” the skins around it and hopefully it will all work fine!

While watching this tribute, after the plane crash today in New York City, I am realize that there are still tears, and they flow quite easily these days. I pray that the crash was just an accident, but something within makes that so hard to believe. Sending out positive thoughts to everyone. (Thanks to Faith for sharing that.)
