Custom Item Limit in WordPress Menu
As anyone who knows me is aware, I encounter a lot of computer problems in my day-to-day life. Things rarely seem to work out, and no matter how much time and effort I put in to mastering WordPress and WordPress-related things, I never seem to learn anything helpful. It’s as if my brain has reached a technical memory limit. It simply refuses to process or …
Saturday Morning Musings
Saturday December 3, 2011
It’s another Saturday morning over here in Taipei. It’s quite a different kind of day in that the sun is supposed to shine all day and the temperature has plummeted. I can sense Canadians rolling their eyes (one Canadian in particular), but it’s true. It’s quite cold here in Taiwan at the moment – outside and inside. I’ve got my heater plugged …
WordPress Themes, Zip Files, FTP Clients, & Screen Options
Despite the nice weather on Sunday this past weekend, I didn’t go out exploring. I was still intent on figuring out the technical side of this blog, and the hours disappeared as I fiddled and experimented and tested. It seems there are still millions of things I don’t understand at all, but I did make some small discoveries.
For one, I learned that it is really …
WordPress & Zip Files, FTP Clients, Screen Options
On Sunday, the weather cleared up a bit and it stopped raining. That’s good news for Amaya and Eric, two people I know through the Internet who are currently cycling in Taiwan on their trip around the world. About a week ago, they took a ferry from mainland China to the Penghu Islands of Taiwan and then another ferry to Taiwan. So they’ve been here …
Choosing a WordPress Theme
I would like to list all the astonishing and fun things I did on Saturday, but not having done many astonishing and fun things, I can’t. What I did instead was try to master some more of the inner workings of WordPress. That wouldn’t take so long except that I find everything so non-intuitive that I need to go some distance into actually setting something …
Inserting Links in Posts and Pages in WordPress
Being a complete WordPress novice, I’m still learning the absolute basics. My project for this morning was to simply insert a link to a Page or Post inside another Page or Post on my blog. It turned out to be exceptionally easy to do (once I figured it out). Here’s what I learned:
To start with, you have to know how to work with Pages and …
Taipei Rooftop Apartments & WordPress Custom Menu and Post Formats
It’s a Sunday morning over here in Taipei, and I am about to have my first cup of coffee of the day. I did not wake up to rain, but the skies are clouded over and my tiny rooftop apartment (otherwise known as Rooftop Paradise) is quite chilly and damp – sure signs that winter is on its way or already here to stay.
Heavy Taipei Rain and WordPress Post Formats
I began this day saying that it was raining and had been for five days. It’s about 10 hours later now, and it is still raining. When I left work to get on my scooter and drive home, the rain was coming down in sheets. Someone told me there was a heavy-rain advisory in effect, and I didn’t doubt it. This was heavy rain. I …
