WordPress help

This won’t be relevant to maybe 90% of you, but for my work’s web-site I’m after a post notification plugin i.e. you can subscribe and get sent an email each time there is a post.

I’ve tried two wordpress plugins: subscribe2 and postnotification and I can get neither to send the emails properly (or even at all).

RSS is all very well but you can’t necessarily send it via email, can you?

If you know of anything, or a work around I would greatly appreciate it.

As I seem to be on a posting spree today, let me go one more.

There is an interesting post here about How to read books above your level.

I am unsure if I agree 100% with what the guy is saying, but I do know that the introduction is what propelled me through Dorian Gray (even if it isn’t that difficult) and it was worth every minute. I came out throughly depressed, but slightly awed, so it all balances out.

My simple advice is to read those more difficult books when you’ve got enough time on your hands to not be thinking about other things. Pretty darn obvious.

For example: Do not try and read a Dostoevsky when you are organising a wedding. It just doesn’t work.

Today I got half my hair cut off. It is blissfully light. I have been meaning to do this ever since the wedding was over. New photo in the sidebar and on the About page (Which is a new thing might I add – I have finally succumbed).

fantasticmrfoxOh my gosh. I found this totally by accident. It’s like the best Roald Dhal book ever!!! (Except George’s Marvelous Medicine would come a close second). And Wes Anderson, Cate Blanchet, Bill Murray… this means that they won’t even destroy it, it’ll be freaking amazing. Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. This is almost more exciting than Tim Burton set to do Alice in Wonderland!

Whine

I had a brief look on the Age website today and see something about Wayne Carey – usually I wouldn’t give a stuff but I clicked, ‘police report‘ and was amazed to see they actually publish those things.

I was more amused that, “…her boyfriend of over two years smashed a whine glass on her mouth”

Surely women don’t nag that much?
