Elaine has given me access to more features, so I have been modifying them to see what happens. There are a lot of options you can set in WordPress. I wonder how long it will take to bring it to a halt?
Noreascon Four
Noreascon 4 was a nice convention. I worked in the Con Suite and I thought it worked very well. Always difficult to provide a hospitality suite for 5000 fans but we managed quite well.
There was a clause in the hotel contract that the hotel (Sheraton) would keep our function rooms, including the Con Suite, stocked with Coke products and the fans really scarfed them up. It was also nice to wander into the movie or anime rooms and grab a drink.
The Concourse in the convention center had a pub, the Mended Drum, that served a good variety of ales, ciders and beers. And the food services folks were providing a Pratchett themed menu. They also hosted the literary Bheers where fans could sit and drink with their favorite authors. (As opposed to the KoffeeKlatches in the Consuite with just Coffee)
What I really liked about the MD was that they telecast the Hugos and Masquerade to the bar so you could sit down and enjoy the show.
Boston was very pleasant that week, Mostly Sunny. I had a chance to pick up a game at Fenway on Wednesday and Boston won. The rest of weekend was a whirlwind of meeting old friends and wondering where the ones you knew were there were.
Unfortunately, American Airlines changed my return flight to 8 AM from 10 AM on Tuesday, forcing me to actually get up and leave the hotel at 6 AM. and it left me with a 4 hour layover in Raleigh Durham. Fortunately, I used the Intenet lounge to recheck my travel plans and found the change.

This is my Experiment with Press It. Elaine somethimes has pictures of me in her blog
Press It
I’m going to delete the PressIt Post since it links to my editing page. And I will try it somewhere else , like dragging it to my bookmark bar and trying to use it when I am at a page I want to comment on.

Very Strange
The post on the New Link question was #13 and I published before #11 but I see on the site that it shows being posted after #11 timewise. I was able to delete #12 without a problem. I wonder what happens if I save a post for a few days and then publish it? Adn now I just tried the press it feature to see what happens.
New Categories
I am currently trying to figure out how to add new categories in Word Press. The WordPress Wiki says to click on the “add new” link at the top of the page but I don’t see one there.

Blank Posts
Now I have some draft blank posts to fill in since I did something when I was navigating around the editor. I will post this one (#11) and try to delete # 12 to see what happens.

Back Again
Well, Elaine has hooked me up with my blog again. I shall see if I am ready to stay with it this time.
I just can’t understand why anyone is taking Bush seriously as a candidate for President. The man invaded a sovereign nation without a declaration of war from Congress. He doesn’t seem to realize that slavery was firmly ensconced in the original Constitution. He doesn’t even realize what he took an oath for at his coronation. But what’s even worse is that our representatives are letting him get away with it.
I’m letting myself get distracted with BBC america. It’s Mystery Monday and I just saw a new show called McCallum, a mystery show about forensics. Those people have serious personal problems.
Tis late, time to go.
