    Slowly but Surely

    This little blog is coming along! Sorta. I'm still figuring out colors and content bin placement, but I'm pretty happy with the overall layout that's taken shape. I crashed into two major hurdles last night though, and I'm still steaming over one of them.

    First off, I fought with the WordTube plugin for hours last night, and failed to emerge victorious. The plugin supports playlists (so I can have a series of videos to choose from), HOWEVER when embeded as a Wordpress Widget (which allows me to place the plugin in a sidebar) that functionality is unavailable. I went through countless lines of PHP trying to force the playlist variable to zero (the setting for "play all videos") but after trolling the forums of the plugin developer I realized it's simply not possible in this version.

    Secondly, I had an EPIC FAIL with my TypePad account. I decided to cancel the account (I paid for service on a yearly basis) and it immediately nuked my profile. I'm not surprised (even though they do technically owe me a few more months of the service), but I am absolutely pissed that I forgot to export out all my posts! I lost it all. Entirely my fault, but this means I'll have to do some serious copy and pasting with my MySpace blog to get back some earlier ramblings.

    Oh well. Such is life I suppose.

    Also, go buy Skate for the Xbox360. Seriously. It's better than Halo 3. That is all.

    UPDATE: I've disabled the need to "register" to comment, so if you have any opinions or just want to spam the new blog, please feel free. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the re-design in progress, and if you've got any WordTube workarounds for my sidebar widget issue, I'll bake you a cake!
