Doh. RTF format of Text Edit on Mac
Finally got around to using permalinks for WP and came across a stumbling block. Everytime I uploaded the custom .htaccess file (with code copied & pasted directly from WP) I got an internal 500 server error. Phoned the delightful support team at Media Temple, and found out that TextEdit for Mac is by default saving as Rich Text Format, so not good. Changed to Plain Text under preferences, and presto. Permalinks.
They also recommended fraise as a text editor. I miss BBEdit, but will try that.
Learned: Call tech support, rather than attempting over and over to fix something that’s not working; even when you end up looking like a dope. It’s ok. That’s their job, to tell you something is proverbially unplugged.
Also learned, permalinks by default label the url by the lowest numbered category (which is the Uncategorized, here General) so don’t check the General . Only use if you forget to check the category you want.
Thesis testing
For now, this blog will simply be for me to test out Thesis, and WP 3.0 without worrying about corrupting a client’s site, or something more vital than this hodgepodge of knitting, bookclubs and what not thoughts. If you stumble across this site, that’s about all she wrote for now. Nothing exciting, no tips, no optimization nadda:)
Theming and returning to this blog
Looks like my spring cleaning project from a year ago went precisely no where. Oy vey. Now that it’s spring again, the Olympics (part 1) came and went, I bought Thesis, the developer version finally!! Am now testing.
Spring Cleaning
To do:
- Upgrade to 2.71
- Figure out why categories, widgets disappeared
- Worry that site was spammed and widgets gone as result
- Get profile pic for Twitter
- Add custom theme, or at least change default colour for Twitter
- Customize this theme.
- TGIF!
