Thank you for the blog comments!

In preparation for this weekend’s 4-year anniversary episode of the Journey Inside My Mind podcast, I’ve gone through the comments made on this blog, and have produced this list. It was compiled from the MySQL database that powers my WordPress blog, with the query:

SELECT DISTINCT `comment_author` , `comment_author_url`
FROM wp_comments
ORDER BY `comment_author` ASC

After cleaning up the list in Excel, I’ve got this of everyone who has commented and has left a link. Thank you to everyone who has been involved over the past four years or more:

I think I’m going to try this out for my other blogs as well.  Thanks also to Chris Penn for the idea.

Categories and Archives working for you?

Help! I’ve been trying to access category and archive pages and keep getting error messages, stating that the pages don’t exist.  Troublesome.  Is this happening to you?

Try this: click on the Categories dropdown and select a category.  Then select a month in the Archives dropdown.

Any of you using WordPress have this happen? Do you have any advice or tips?

Time for a theme update

I’m at the point where I’m ready to move away from the default WordPress theme to something with more pizzazz.  Since this website is about the Journey Inside My Mind, which includes music, musings, and the like, I have to believe that there are some themes available that can help bring this out.  Do you have any suggestions? Feel free to leave them in the comments.

New iPod Touchy Goodness!

Greetings from my new iPod touch! Last Friday Jennie, Keisha, and I went to the Apple store in Kenwood Towne Center (map). I now understand why so many folks rave about their experiences there.

After having all our questions answered, I bought Jennie and I each a new 16 GB iPod touch.

It is truly a remarkable thing to behold. Already we are loving that our music libraries can fit on it. And I’ve really started enjoying all the applications that I’ve added.

I am typing this from the WordPress application, for example. I’m still trying to get used to typing here, and I often fat-finger a word or three, :-) .

What applications do you recommend I check out?
