After unsuccessfully implementing an integrated logon page within my WordPress sites, I discovered today this great plugin at Blue Anvil that allows login through a sidebar widget. Initially, I had trouble setting it up because it kept pointing to the server name minus port (my IIS and network setup prohibits this). After some tweaking in the code to make the path include the server port, I managed to get it working right. Thanks, Mike at Blue Anvil!
Looked for the following code: $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']
And changed to: $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].":".$_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']
I’m currently researching a way to theme by category, specifically the puppy category, without having to spin off into another blog. The information at Technosailor’s blog might offer me a way of doing it…we’ll see how it goes.
Photographing with an unfamiliar camera causes a lot of headache when many of your shots turn out blurry and grainy. I’m currently using a Canon Powershot A710 IS…a beginner-friendly camera with a wealth of extra options. I would like to take close up shots of flowers at distances less than two feet away but apparently I’m not geared properly or shooting correctly. I’ve turned to the following page for some assistance in photographing my garden subjects, especially if I plan to venture into manual adjustments.
After the February crash of my server box, I lost many posts written up to this time. I am considering redesigning the site and perhaps move it to a paid hosting solution. We’ll see how it goes. Meanwhile, I hope that the Internet Archive will soon have some copies of this site available for me to recapture some of the lost data.
