Tags vs Categories

Seems I can have both tag and category clouds in WordPress, sweet! I know that tags can be sprinkled anywhere in posts, but what about categories? I see that categories can be hierarchical which tags cannot do by design.

I get a checkbox list of categories when creating a post. I’m putting this post in every category except “Uncategorized”

I have to enter tags manually, separating them with commas. I sure wish it could give me a list of my currently used tags. Perhaps I just haven’t found the list yet…   Ah, it has a type-ahead in the tag textbox for currently used tags, but you have to know the first letter of the tag. Better than nothing.

Jungle Disk Again

Seems that signing up for the demo of Jungle Disk opened a credit card account with A9 Amazon. When I received the card in the mail, I called and terminated the account. While I still think that Jungle Disk is a good idea, its time has not come for me. The demo seemed to be programmatically sound but the signup process was vague and disconcerting.

Jungle Disk

I heard about a new backup service that works in conjunction with Amazon Web Services to backup your data off-site supposedly for a very low price. Yesterday I installed the software from Jungle Disk and today I’ve been trying to get the correct keys so I can test it. I believe I have all the keys installed correctly, now I just have to figure out how to tell it to backup a portion of my drive. I setup the billing to my Consulting credit card.

Control + two finders up on the trackpad = zoom

Good Day

Just like the song, it’s been a good day. I should be doing Franklin preparation but I’ve been playing with a WordPress avatar and installing OneNote 2007 on Northstar.

OneNote 2007

Since the tip from Todd Cochrane didn’t work in OneNote 2003, I need to install OneNote 2007 and see if it will work with the latest version of the OneNote software.

New Software

The new software I purchased through e-Academy arrived today. Unfortunately, I was under the weather and didn’t feel well enough to install it. I spoke to Vista Developers about a trip to North Carolina in October to see some land. I told him that we needed to wait until next summer as this year won’t work for us.

Does OneNote offer any seamless export to a blog feature?

Q: Does OneNote offer any seamless export to a blog feature?

A:
It’s not *that* seamless, but it works pretty well. You need Word 2007
though. Basically, OneNote sends it to Word and then you can use Word’s
blogging feature to post it to a blog.
Note though that I have to edit my posts before they appear on my
WordPress blog, because there are certain things that are just formatted
wrong. Not sure whether Word or OneNote is to blame though for each of
the things.
