How to create a client portal in WordPress

By Jean, February 5, 2010 1:07 am

I’m not a programmer, but I play one when I’m adventurous.

A client of mine needed to share different (private) content with their clients. He also needed workers of his to be able to view and update all clients pages, but didn’t want to give access to the WordPress admin area for either. Continue reading 'How to create a client portal in WordPress'»

Dealing with Spammers

By Jean, August 12, 2009 4:48 pm

I recently received a lot of what is called “Backscatter” spam email messages. These types of spam messages are different than regular spam in that the messages I received were from the “Mail Delivery System” and “Mail Delivery Subsystem”. (MDS) They were notices that emails that “I” tried to send didn’t get sent. I emphasise the word “I” because, well.. because I didn’t send them.

Procrastination

Recently, my husband and I have been getting more inspired. This afternoon, we briefly talked about how much time we can spend thinking about doing something, rather than just doing it. With the time that we’ve spent thinking of doing it, we could have done it, five times over.

Today I went and set up the engine lift at the garage space a friend has so graciously offered up. Continue reading 'Car conversion stuffs started!'»

Snowy

By Jean, September 18, 2008 9:41 am

I wrote this to a friend, but thought I should post it for other friends as well.

This is so hard for me to say, but our cat, Snowy died this morning just after 3 am.

We  found her in the back yard close to the shed, lying on the ground. Her pupils were dilated, and her hind quarters were cold. Her front paws were getting cold. She was still breathing, but barely. As we spoke, she responded by moving her front paws a bit. Continue reading 'Snowy'»

Another Prema Medation

By Jean, May 23, 2008 11:03 pm

I must admit, I’ve not been very good at writing down my experiences, but when I do, I’m glad to be able to remember them for a longer period of time, and much more vividly than if I do not write anything down. Continue reading 'Another Prema Medation'»
