Website Lets You Send a Post-Rapture E-Mail to Friends ‘Left Behind (Wired)

The only comment I could possibly make about this mashup of religion and technology is

o_O

(The comments on the Wired site are pretty entertaining, but not for thin-skinned Believers. You’ve been warned!)

Freebies for Cutline

1 June 2008 · 3 Comments

One thing (among many) I love about the Cutline Theme for WordPress is the ability to use custom image headers.

At the moment, my folder of custom headers is bursting. As a result, I’m releasing a number of them under the Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 Unported License for you to use on your own Cutline blog. Attribution in this case is linking back to my blog in your blogroll. (Title: The WYSIWYG* Blog and the Link is http://justjennifer.wordpress.com) Please note that these headers will only display correctly at 770pixels by 140pixels, which is the default Cutline theme header. At any other size these headers will appear distorted.

In order to use one of my customized headers, you will need to save it first to your own computer. Click on any thumbnail below to open the full-size header, right click on the image and “Save As” to save the image. Then in your blog’s Dashboard go to Presentation > Custom Image Header and upload the header. (WordPress FAQ) Please note! Uploading a new header will replace your existing header, so backup your old custom header before uploading the new one. These headers are being offered “as is” without any warranty, actual or implied.

If you understand how to use CSS and WordPress’ HTML Write Editor is a friendly face, you might also be interested in reading this page on how to style your images in Cutline.

Happy 5th Birthday WordPress!

27 May 2008 · No Comments

Reposted after an accidental delete (Lesson learned: Don’t do draft management while distracted)

WordPress blogging software is 5 years old today. My first WordPress install was v1.5 when I still ran my self-hosted domain. According to the Release Log, that was back in February 2005. (Before that I coded all the HTML in EditPad!) WP has continuously handed out some fabulous party favors along the way. Thanks guys!

As we say in Hebrew, “until 120!”, and then some. If anyone reading this is going to the party in San Francisco, please buy the development team a round of drinks on me. They’ve certainly earned it. )

Many thanks to chotda for the use of her flickr photo.

Come hang out with the other really hoopy froods, man!

Towel Day- Celebrating the Life and Work of Douglas Adams

Don’t have time to read all the books in this 5-part trilogy? Wikiquote!

The Movie Trailer you wish you’d seen but didn’t. (Blame it on Marvin, everyone else did.)

(This year’s Towel Day blog header was brought to you by those really hoopy froods at NASA, ESA, the Hubble Heritage (STScI/AURA)-ESA/Hubble Collaboration, and A. Evans (University of Virginia, Charlottesville/NRAO/Stony Brook University)
