I’m working through a book called Wishcraft: How to Get What You Really Want, and it’s really blowing me away. One of the most important things about following your dreams is not to do it in isolation. Wishcraft is celebrating 30 years in print – and has been re-printed numerous times due to the overwhelming [...]
Don’t use any plugins that haven’t been tested with 2.7. For me it was WP-Amazon, which is a known issue on the WP 2.7 compatibility page in the WordPress Codex.

Working from home gives me lots of little perks (and having a husband at home to… *wink*), and being able to nap when I need to is one of them. SARK, an artist, and productivity gurus around the web have been singing the praises of naps — how our bodies are made for napping and [...]
