Update

I’ve been missing for most of this week and what a week of problems it was.

First, tried to get this site working with Feedburner. Figured gaining a few pennies via the RSS feeds would be worth it. The plugin THEY recommended broke the entire site. Thanks to @ncartmuseum for coming up with a fix.

Secondly, was trying to experiment with Zotero to see if it can offer a new feature for newcurator. It seems the people who have managed to get Zotero to post a WordPress post with every clipping are using some form of witchcraft. I wasted a day despite my best efforts.

I shouldn’t be surprised. I still can’t get my Delicious.com saved bookmarks into a daily post.

Thirdly, WordPress pushed an update that cause catastrophic problems with my lovely theme. Literally, the whole thing went down. It makes you wonder that WordPress, one of the biggest providers of blogging software, would tell people about the little changes that causes their plugins and themes to break everything in sight. Thanks to @firetail for this solution.

Lastly, I have had to do all this with a delightful sickness that made walking across the room a trial. So I was bedridden, wondering what I did for everything to crumble about my ears. Hence the lack of any serious amount of blogging. I’m feeling a little better now, but do plan to spend the weekend recovering and catching up.

Like this, something I wanted to do as soon as I heard: My thoughts go out to the friends and family of Officer Stephen Johns and everyone at the United States Holocaust Museum. I read this today from their twitter:

Despite our grief and outrage we reopen our doors today-June 12-and every day after with a renewed commitment to the urgency of our mission.

It’s been a tough week. My silly little grievances pale in comparison to the loss of a hero in the line of duty. This weekend, everyone take a moment, recuperate, reflect so we come back Monday better than ever…

Because of the urgency of our mission.
