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:

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.
QuickPAD Pro Word Processor vs. Alphasmart NEO
I spent a long time in the past looking for a lightweight and portable word processor that ran on normal batteries. I eventually found the Alphasmart NEO, and I purchased one.

Heavy Taipei Rain and WordPress Post Formats

Jioufen,Taiwan
I believe Jioufen was my second trip out of Taipei when I first came to Taiwan. I rode my bike here and stayed at a relatively fancy place called Old Window. I wouldn’t normally have stayed at a place that cost that much a night, but everything else was booked. At least, the places I could find were booked. Since then …
