In the spirit of open source (and considering I wrote most of the logic for relative holidays tonight), I thought I’d put my SeasonalCSS Wordpress plugin out there for you to use, test and modify for your own blogs. The only thing I ask is if you find a better way to do what I’m doing let me know. I will be releasing this on WP but I want to give enough opportunity for some of you WP bloggers to try it out yourself and help me tweak the code.

Aw, and here I was just thinking, “not ONLY a really great expositor of the ‘blogging way’ but a pretty sexy guy too!
Anyway, Aaron, your Sitepoint article should be required reading…. marvelous job! Readable, extensive, extremely useful, quality information…. I’m bookmarking it on my own (I hope not “dreadful”!) site….

Try expedia.co.uk. or lastminute.com. I have been happy with both. I used expedia on the Thursday before Easter and got a return flight to Glasgow from London for £88.00 all taxes included. Last year booking at the same time I paid £170.00 one way. (I forget the lessons I learn!) The flight was not on one of the ‘no-frills’ carriers too. I got lunch a drink and a newspaper. Wow!

While I am glad to see you’re reading my site, I will hardly disagree with you about Bush being a fiscal liberal. Heck, in lieu of his lack of effort for the war on terror (which he lobbied the country to ease pissed off Americans post 9/11) I would consider him a security liberal too. He may not look at Iraq and Afghanistan as a Law Enforcement issue as it relates to terrorism, but I think it’s rather ironic that he looks at our Border Security in the same light that John Kerry does. To me, that’s pretty terrifying.
You aren’t going to see me look at Bush as some fiscal conservative. He never has been. So I think we agree on this level too :)

I totally agree with you Carol… I never want to be in the state she’s been in for the past 15 years. If I can’t walk to the bathroom myself pull the plug. As you stated we should never have gotten to this point. I like to listen to Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and other Conservative radio talk shows, but I couldn’t stand the constant “save Terri” BS. As I see it she’s been in a helpless state for all these years and I just cannot believe she wanted to continue. You weren’t being morbid, just truthful.

That final sentence doesn’t show any bias to me. It just says that Windows 2000 is better than NT, which almost everybody I know would say is true. The sentence before that though, definitely seems suspect.

Yahoo doesn’t come close to Google when it’s about spidering my site. Of my daily spider visits arround 70% is from Google, the other 30% is divdided between Yahoo, MSN, Gigablast, Baidu and Wisenut.

Hi Aaron - gosh, that would be pretty nice! I haven’t even really looked at seasonalcss yet, due to having a nasty problem with one theme I installed.
If you feel inclined to help me out in that way, I’ll be extremely grateful! You may reach me at sylvermoon (at) gmail (dot) com….

No worries, mate! I just finished killing any brains I had taking apart an Access database to figure out how to set one up…. I don’t recommend that as a “tutorial” option, btw!
Thanks again….

I’m still with Matt on this one. My email at work is filed under folders saved on my personal drive. It saves me a lot of time to be able to pull up an email to recall conversations and commitments from others in their emails. The majority of the time, I don’t use it but it is nice to have when I need it. Having said that, all documents that need to be used frequently are saved to my share drive which allows everyone who would need it access. So I guess I do a bit of both, but I love filing email.

I finally told Comcast to take a flying leap! I am back to antenna TV and dial up internet. I get better picture from rabbit ears and more time actually connected from dial up!! Trying to disconnect was a nightmare! They suddenly claimed I possessed two of their modems (I never had ONE, I purchased my own and when it died replaced it myself too! thus two MAC addresses) They admit they’ve never charged me for rent, but….jeez what a pain! I hate Comcast!! Good thing I never did VOIP, I knew we’d never be connected enough to count on it!
