This is posted using Performancing 1.1.x.something. Silly me, I forgot the name of the extension – not that it really has anything to do with blogging… Let’s try it, shall we?

This is posted using the JustBlogIt Firefox extension. Nifty – and pretty – CSS stuff here: css Zen Garden: The Beauty in CSS Design.
Hmmm, must check how my site handles trackbacks, as well as how does this do security?
Update: upgraded to WP 2.0.2 so that’s all set. Still must clean up theme files for rough edges.
I planned to send out links when March came, since March would be the silver bullet to sweep away the blahs of February. Not so – it’s still damn cold and blah. More sunlight, though, so I should count my blessings.
Part of it is my pickiness with tools. For all my QE and testing background, I’m sometimes really not very good at hacking things up. I like my ‘stable’ tools – like email and blogging – to be just so. I spend a lot of time customizing them before I get to doing real work. I found a Firefox extension I really liked for blogging then lost it in a browser upgrade, and it’s just been too hard to come back to the plain webform editing (doubly so since Lucas – very happy to have a warm lap – just wiped this post out by smooshing the touchpad buttons). Ah-ha, he says, I suddenly understand why AJAX is cool!
Ah, that’s a CSS bit I should get – the acronym pop-up thing so I can explain to my non-geek friends what AJAX means in the technology world these days… CSS is neat, but I have so little graphical style I always just end up stealing stuff instead of creating new layouts. Tip: excellent CSS site – showing what you can really do, pretty simply – is http://www.csszengarden.com/ Check it out. Pretty even if you don’t care about the code.
