July 26th, 2008 · 6 Comments

Yuck.  I tried upgrading WordPress earlier this week using the Automatic WordPress Upgrade plugin (which has worked fine in the past) to no avail.  It kept getting stuck on making a backup copy of my database.  I had not done the upgrade before the most recent one, so perhaps that had something to do with [...]

July 22nd, 2008 · 8 Comments

Sometimes, I’m the last one to figure things out.  But just in case I’m not…

Sunday Paper Coupon Insert Schedule

July 17th, 2008 · No Comments

If you’re like me, you buy the Sunday paper to clip some coupons and hopefully get a couple of good deals (or at least make up the cost of buying the Sunday paper).  I am always trying to make sure that I got all of the coupon inserts for the Sunday paper; in our area, [...]
