Just set up my iPad with the Wordpress app on the iPad and pretty excited about the possibilities of blogging without having to sit in front of my iMac!
To fully enable it, you have to go into your Writing options under Settings and click the box under Remote Publishing for XML-RPC for “Enable the Wordpress, Movable Type, MetaWeblog and Blogger XML-RPC publishing protocols”. That seems to be it and it’s working for me already! Now I just have to figure out why I keep getting a 500 internal server error with Wordpress 3.0….

We enjoyed some great entertainment this week at Boston Basil’s in Kailua-Kona when we went to listen to the jazz-stylings of Betsy Curtis. She was a famous singer in the late sixties, part of Betsy and Chris—think Marcia and Jan Brady singing folk songs in Japan—who were so popular they made lunchboxes and stockings with their brand!
She covered a wide variety of songs at Boston Basils—mostly jazz standards, plus a little Aretha Franklin to get the audience and crowds of people on the sidewalk of Alii Drive excited! Keep your eyes open, we think she may be making a comeback in Japan sometime soon…
Oh, and we enjoyed our orders of lasagna and cheese ravioli, although another one of the other guests at our table, thought her spaghetti was a little over-cooked. The atmosphere of the live music was fantastic, the open air lounge upstairs had a great view of the water, and overall our visit there made life a little bit more fun. Cheers!

When I started getting into developing my own websites in the last couple years, I hooked up with Thesis for Wordpress rather quickly because of a suggestion by a fellow author. I have thoroughly enjoyed using it to develop my sites and since have been hired to design a number of other people’s sites, and have found it to be THE BEST format for my clients, especially the ones who have a low budget. I like to create sites that the client, even with very little technical knowledge, can make simple edits and additions to. And Thesis’ flexibility allow me to take a blank canvas and create just about anything.
Now a few months ago, I thought that I should branch out and try Joomla because I didn’t want to be pegged as a “one-trick pony” so I created a couple sites using some really nice templates from Pixels Paradise (I even recreated my Websites with Aloha site in Joomla). I liked the look and feel, and professionalism of these templates, and the idea that I had another tool in my toolbelt, however whenever I thought about making edits on these sites, I realized that I was dreading it because Joomla just isn’t as user-friendly and intuitive as Thesis. Don’t worry, I will change my web design site back to Thesis as soon as I have a spare minute!
I tried to be fair, I tried to be un-biased, but I have to admit that I love Thesis, so why bother working with another format? I realize that it’s because I’m more familiar with it, and I could get that from more experience with another platform, but when you fall in love, do you really have to keep looking around for a new love, or can you simply be satisfied and rest assured that you’ve needn’t look any further?
The other awesome thing about Thesis is that I feel part of a community of other Thesis-lovers. How fun to be a fan-boy of a WP theme! Not to mention being able to type in essentially any question I have and always find an answer. Thank you to all those amazing Thesis tutors out there. Here are some of my favorites:
