Quiet holiday

[rolanni]

So, apparently the town didn’t spring for the jet fighter fly-over this year. Or, if they did, the jets executed their turn for the return flight in some airspace other than that directly over the Cat Farm. This? Was a Good Thing.

A Less Good Thing was the bee that got up under my hat and behind my sunglasses on this morning’s walk. I snatched off hat and sunglasses, whereupon my glasses spontaneously decided to test gravity, which I can report was operational at that moment, meaning that said glasses fell, lenses down, on the gravel, and, yes, they are now an excellent example of why you should never drop your glasses on gravel. Argh. Granted, they are — were — my back-up glasses, but that means I’m down to one pair, which — given adventures like the one just described — is so not a good idea.

Despite the bee, and gravity, and everything, I had a pleasant day. I learned lots of Stuff about WordPress, most of which I will forget by tomorrow morning. But, no matter, for!

Splinter Universe now occupies a space on the web.

There’s no story there yet, or much of anything else, and I’m told the RSS isn’t working, but still and all, I’m pretty happy with my day’s work.

Come the afternoon, after a supper of veggie cheeseburger on a bun, fresh carrots and baked beans, all washed down by Outrageous Ginger Ale (which was pretty dern good), I worked on “Kin Ties,” and watched the various thunderstorms come through.

Now, it’s time to knock off, get lunch and talk over tomorrow’s logistics with Steve. We need to be in Augusta early in order to drop Argent the Forester at Charlie’s Subaru for a little bit of work behind the nose, so of course the burning question is: Do we eat breakfast at home before we leave, or do we use the drop-off as an excuse to have breakfast out?

Decisions, decisions…

I hope everyone who celebrates had an enjoyable holiday.

Happy Fourth!

Splinter Universe now occupies a place in the "Liad" folder of my Favorites. Yay! Also, Happy Fourth!

I am curious about your marketing strategy behind having so many websites, instead of putting all your writing under a single website such as korval.com.

I basically asked the same a few days ago:

Thanks for the link. I like the concept of cross-pollination, and I hope it works! Sadly, as a reader, I am very lazy. If I want to know *everything* an author wrote, I google, "Author Name homepage."

So do I ^^ - but then there are links on all the websites to the others - except to the LJs, I guess.

This is why I have a "Liad folder" to put all their websites in! (lol)

The RSS is fine; it's just "not found" because there are no posts yet.

Hmm. If it depends on posts -- as in, people answering the main post -- then the RSS isn't going work. I did just update the page with news of a Splinter, hoping that would shake something up, but when I clicked the RSS button, I got Page Not Found.

It would probably help if I actually knew what I was doing, but it gives me something to think about while the backbrain is plotting out the fine bits of stories...

No, it doesn't have anything to do with people's comments; it depends on whether you're writing things as pages or posts. Right now, the home page is a page. RSS feeds in WordPress contain only posts.

Post versus Page in Wordpress

Maybe these will help with the difference?
