Being in the prairies we are very limited with where we can go to do such things, but this place is lovely. It has a chalet where you can go warm up and buy hot chocolate and relax.

This was the first time I ever took my kids tobogganing too, so they were so excited. “This is better than I expected!”, cried Malachi. “I thought it would be boring”, Ysobel declared somewhat incredulously.

For more information, check out the Harbourview website.

Top 10 Most Common Coding Mistakes in Wordpress Plugins
from planetOzh

I haven’t actually written my own plugin in a couple of years, but I intend to! Just you watch…

Also, this made me laugh :)

Use WordPress as a CMS

Congratulations, you’ve just managed content and used “WP as a CMS”.

2009 Open Source CMS Report Released
We’re happy to see WordPress recognized again as a strong CMS option for publishers. The free 96-page report is available at CMSWire.

I try to tell my friends and colleagues, but many roll their eyes (probably more that I keep talking about Wordpress than anything else).

They swam every day, were really good for her, and got along well. I took a bunch of shots this weekend, tried to pick out the best ones and not deluge the post with everything.

Apparently there were some naughty holes left open here and there. It happens.. glad the team can move so quickly to get the fixes out! Imagine a proprietary company, like, say Microsoft… or heck, even Apple… it takes them way too long (in this internet world) to get fixes out.

Also, thing number two… I finally crossed back over the 1,000,000 mark this weekend!! gosh, it’s been hard. I used to be well under 500,000, like somerwhere around 420,000 (you may remember these from last year) …Then earlier this year I did something foolish and wrecked my site!! I was all frustrated and shut ‘er down for a couple of months whilst being too busy with work and life to do anything else.

Finally I re-installed from scratch, salvaged what I could from all my old content, slapped it back together, and started watching traffic again. Ouch, Alexa had kicked me back to over 2,000,000 :(   which isn’t surprising. I figure it could have been worse.

After making some concerted effort to post articles and participate in discussions again, here we are (as of today):

Ok, three things

I got my teeth cleaned again today… no cavities!! need to floss tho.
