Wow, it’s week 20 of SuperPost Sunday already :D. Imagine that!
Bugs in Blogadise
So out of curiosity, has anyone else been having a bit of trouble with nasty bugs since they upgraded to WordPress 3.1? Cause I’m about to break the computer if I don’t figure out how to swat those little buggers very soon.
I’ve always referred to myself as being somewhat ATTAC – all things techie with abbreviations challenged – so if you’re having similar troubles and are a techie genie whose figured out how to fix these, then by all means – I’m all ears!
I can’t seem to link to any of my categories or else you would have seen one on my SuperPost Sunday up there ^^^. And I’m sure you’ve noticed that my picture is missing in the About Me widget on the right >>> and in my WTH tab. I know there are quite a few other things as well, but I don’t want this lovely Sunday to be ruined with a rant so I’ll stop here.
Mark’s Tao
On a happier note, I just received Mark Schaefer’s book, “The Tao of Twitter – Changing your life and business 140 characters at a time“ (not an affiliate – simply an Amazon link to make your life easier), and let me tell you – it’s loaded with helpful tips and stories making it addictive, educational and human.
I’ll most definitely be telling you a little more about it soon but until then, I suggest your read Brankica’s excellent review over at Live Your Love or that of our favorite expat, John Falchetto, over at Expat Life Coach.
Alright, I think that’s enough talking for now.
