RSS Feed Once Again Feeding

January 5 2009

Well…that took a while.

The upgrade to version 2.7 of WordPress created a little bit of a mess for many of us serving RSS feeds. A blank line here, a wonky plug-in there…so many things to go wrong.

For this blog, it was one option in the YARPP (Yet Another Related Posts Plugin v2.1.6) plugin. Once I zeroed in on it and turned it off, the feed was restored.

This has been a major problem since the upgrade as some people were seeing the feed, most weren’t, and…well, it was just an all around mess. You can imagine my relief now that things are back to normal with that.

I’m hoping that the next Wordpress upgrade will solve the page-load sluggishness. It’s not just y’all, it bugs me, too.

It means that a secret that could affect your life in a profound way is being revealed. If we are honest with ourselves, I think amazingly few of us (if any) can claim to [...] Continue Reading…

Thoughts Following My Gilmore Girls Marathon

January 4 2009

On October 5, 2000, I settled down to watch what seemed to be a very intriguing show on the WB: Gilmore Girls. During the teaser we got this exchange:
Lorelai: You certainly are chatty with my table, huh?
Man #1: I was just getting to know…
Lorelai: My daughter?
Man #1 (surprised): You don’t look like a mother… And you don’t look like [...] Continue Reading…

TTSCC - The Rogue Paradigm

January 3 2009

One of the themes of the second season of Terminator - The Sarah Connor Chronicles has been one of going rogue. Jesse and Riley, Jesse and Derek, Cromartie, and possibly both Cameron and Catherine. With each of these, it seems as though there is a desire to break with the status quo and forge ahead on their own paths. [...] Continue Reading…
