This is a fantastic time waster. The site has people find pictures of them when they were kids, and try to recreate the pictures as they are now. Most of them are hilarious. Check it out.

  • Okay, I have a busy day today, but the plan is to get everything done before I go to sleep tonight. #

La Zona Rosa, Cloverjam, et al.

Yesterday was busy day for me. Saturday’s are usually spent tending to sleep, rest, and maybe some yard work. This Saturday was a little different because I have the day-from-hell coming up at school and needed to get a lot of research and paperwork done. I spent several hours working on research and got a couple of pages written and decided that I needed to go out and enjoy myself.

Cloverjam was happening that night so I assumed Erika and I would go to that, but before it started Lindsey called Erika and said she and Bo and the George’s were going to eat a La Zona Rosa before going to the block party.

Ok, so I don’t really feel like reviewing the whole evening so let me give you the run-down. We ate Mexican food at La Zona Rosa, went to have drinks at Sinclair’s during cloverjam and then just walked around meeting people, talking to old friends, and meeting up with others.

The entire evening ended with Erika and I walking home with Emily and Trey. We stopped in the park and talked for a while before going our separate ways and calling it a night.

Nested or Threaded Comments in WordPress 4

I have used several threaded comments plugins for wordpress over the years and the best one for the most part was called Brian’s Threaded Comments. There were issues with this plugin, it took lots of time to reconfigure the comments.php style to fit that of the theme your blog already has. Sometimes the javascript messed up.

I got rid of the nested comments because it was too much work to implement with my themes and other plugins that managed subscriptions to posts. I have finally found a solution that works.

WordPress Thread Comment is by far the best I have tried in recent history. You don’t have to edit your comment.php page. It inserts into the existing comment box and just uses text links to tell the comment box to act as a reply.  In addition, it automagicly informs the person to whom you are replying of the new comment and does this without other plugins.

It is fairly customizable, you can edit how the page reacts, how many nests there are and also what the emails that are sent to other commenters look like. The English for the instructions and in the default settings is a little rough, so you will want to update that yourself, but this plugin will take you less than 5 minutes to install and test.

If you have been looking for something like this for WordPress, please give this a try, it saved me time, and it saved my sanity.
