Sur le seuil
OK, big news. Big. Huge. No not really. I just love saying that.
I'm going to change hosts again. I've only been with...well, it's been almost a year. Wow. Anyway, I can't get any support from the host I'm on now. I have to change some billing information because they haven't billed me in a while now, and I'm really concerned that they will shut me down before they read all of the e-mails I've sent asking for help. I don't know what happened, either. They were so good, blog-oriented, MT support. And then they just disappeared. Oh well. I am running out of space anyway. I've got 200 MB on this server, and it's almost gone. What on Earth could I possibly have that takes up all of that space? Too many pictures, I suppose. I found a really good deal, and I'll prbably make this my project for next weekend. This weekend is a holiday, and I think I'll be out and about...don't quote me on that. I might even take the giant leap and upgrade to MT 3.0. I don't think I'll pay for it right away, and I won't be missing anything more than I am now. That's OK, I guess.
I found two plug-ins today that I hadn't known about before. Smarty Pants and Textile both of which are totally cool. Smarty Pants adds smart quotes and other punctuation to your text automatically. Textile gives you the ability to create HTML without using a lot of HTML code. I've become sort of a purist in the last two years, taking pride in my knowledge of the proper tags in HTML (Do you know how long it took me to remember to close the URL reference with a quotation mark before the ">"? Like forever!), so Textile is almost cheating in a way, but so far, it's way easy. So thank you.
It's almost time for a three-and-a-half day weekend!
