Another case of whitespaces causing php errors

I think I'm going to put that on my list – maybe number one or two of things to check when I encounter oddities or breakages.

/wp-admin/post.php

I received a blank page (redirected to the above location – with a domain name, obviously) when updating a post – and it was due to a couple extra returns in the functions.php file.

Thank you google search!

Fixed… like a boss!

I just helped +Lizzy Miles with her kickstarter project and will get some great loot to share with my sister. (A "Death by Crock" t-shirt!!)

Check it out – the designs are really cool, and your money goes to a good cause :)

Reshared post from +Lizzy Miles

Today is my birthday (No joke!) If you donate even just $1 to my Kickstarter project, you'll make my heart swell. This project is representative of my life's work to increase death awareness. My Google Plus friends should know they always have me to turn to if they need to talk about the hard stuff, but most people don't have anyone. I want to change that and open the conversation.

You'll also get a free-pdf of my book too.

To the peeps who've already donated, you've got good karma because you understand the importance of it all.

All of a sudden, TextWrangler was giving errors on multi-file search

You would think that setting:
"file name extension" "is not" ".gif" (.jpg or .png)
would have worked – but nope, it didn't! Frustrating!

By instead saying:
"file name" "does not end with" ".gif" (etc)
DID work.

Very odd, but glad to get rid of these search errors that made it difficult to find relevant results!

Does anyone own BBEdit? If so, what features really set it apart from TextWrangler?

I used to own BBedit, but I loaned the disk to a colleague and never got it back. I've been using TextWrangler ever since, but am curious what I'm missing. I'm thinking of taking the leap again because I do love to support the hard work of developers who make my job easier.

Great perspective – it's true – we bind ourselves & may need to remind ourselves every day that we are free.

Reshared post from +Nick Smith

I don't mind

"Life has no other discipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept life unquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such."….. – Henry Miller

I'm not into the whole guru / master thing, but neither do I knock if that's what hits the button for you. Regardless of the means, I get a jab of joy when I come across someone 'waking up' to recognise the beauty and power they have always had, and now open to be moved by Inspiration… as with the lady in this video.

Her words, "I don't mind", are significant to me. Many moons ago, in a moment of despair, I asked the wisest person I've known, 'When would I eventually be free?'

The response I got back was not at all what I wanted to hear. In fact, it sounded discouraging and quite cruel. "In the moment that you find nothing unacceptable", was the answer given me. How ridiculous and unreasonable… and what about all the horrors in the world? Should I not mind those!

What I didn't realise then is that to condemn, is to bind things to the way thing are. To accept something or someone completely, is to help set them free.

When we can truthfully say, "I don't mind" what is there to trouble us? There's an incredible incorruptible peace that flows from this decision. From here, we are no longer bound — like Sisyphus — to needing to manage, or exert control, in our life. We can radiate instead. This, to me, is freedom… because now we can be truly influential, and helpful.

I'll may be away from here for a week or so. In the meantime enjoy yourSelf and have fun. :)

When I give my WordPress 101 class, you will hear me say "WordPress is the best Content Management System (CMS) for non-techies."

Here's further proof it's winning over Drupal and Joomla: It's updated more often, well supported with third party plugins (check out the plugin numbers!), has more Facebook and Twitter supporters than Drupal and Joomla combined, and look at how much less expensive the start-up costs are! Wow!

Very nice review on a former boss and good friend who is a great artist: +Dennis Harper. It was nice to learn more about him – he's quiet but has a sparkle in his eye that tells you he has a great sense of humor & is very thoughtful about observing things around him.
