Let’s save it and see.

Answer: in Firefox, “email to” link not yet showing up. Time to RTFM.

testing WP email plugin – test post about ballooning from Wikipedia

Because we’re all tired of Lorem Ipsum: The first modern hot air balloon was designed and built in 1960 by Ed Yost. He made the first free flight of such an aircraft in Bruning, Nebraska on 22 October 1960. Initially equipped with a plastic envelope and kerosene fuel, Yost’s designs rapidly moved onto using a modified propane powered “weed burner” to heat the air and lightweight nylon fabric for the envelope material.

Today, hot air balloons are used primarily for recreation. There are some 7,500 hot air balloons operating in the United States. Since piloting a balloon requires some effort (licensing and purchase of equipment), many people opt to purchase a balloon flight from a company offering balloon rides. Balloon rides are available in many locations around the world and are especially popular in tourist areas.[5] Balloon festivals are a great way to see hot air balloons close up, and are an enjoyable family outing. Balloon festivals usually include other activities like live entertainment, amusement rides, etc.[6]

Testing SideBlog Plugin – Test #1

Barge with a Lawn

UPDATE: third problem is that it’s still showing up in the SideBlog even though the categories have been changed. Why?

Two problems: (1) This post – at least while using Chris Pearson’s Cutline Theme -  is too wide to be used in the SideBlog plugin area. So we’re going to put in in the main column and see how it works out. (2) the image caption is also running too wide. I think I inserted it using the native WordPress image manager. I think this calls for making the post a bit longer and inserting at least one more image to test. Or maybe we just need some more test posts. Or both. So let’s take some advice from General George S. Patton. Here are two slightly different formulations – one may have been sanded smooth a bit before use:

:”A good plan, violently executed now, is better than a perfect plan next week.” (the coarser version)

“A good solution applied with vigor now is better than a perfect solution applied ten minutes later.” (”vigor,” one thinks, less offensive than “violently.” (Via GeneralPatton.com).

A square (regular quadrilateral) is a special case of a rectangle as it has four right angles and equal parallel sides. Likewise it is also a special case of a rhombus, kite, parallelogram, and trapezoid.

Perhaps the problem is that in the other post we uploaded nine images at once. The image at right was part of a litter of one. Perhaps I need to keep posting – one image at a time at first, working my way up to two, three, etc., until we see if that is or isn’t the problem.

Site Reboot

Something nasty got into my server WordPress files – which prevented me from getting into the control panel. So – after several weeks – decided to delete the subdomain – and start again. Hence – no archives – and a clean install. May repost older material when the opportunity presents itself.
