    I recently had some trouble adding CSS to the back end of WordPress for ONLY the custom post type I was creating. Here is the code I ended up using:   /* * Adding the admin.css file to the back end of WordPress */ add_action(‘admin_init’,’load_my_script’); function load_my_script() { global $pagenow, $typenow; if (empty($typenow) && !empty($_GET[‘post’]))…

    I had a fun conversation with a friend yesterday about business. We have fun conversations now and then about business ideas and ways to extend our income a bit. He shared with me an experience from a previous life where he worked with a business that sold tumbleweeds. (Yes, tumbleweeds…) In fact, as a result…

    I’ve been recently doing a bit of studying on being happy. This lead me to an article that basically said ” happiness does directly influence the genetic-expression of DNA” (If we are happy we are more likely to be physically healthy.)   I just thought that was interesting 🙂

    I just found a note I wrote down at some point. It says “Rediscover the strengths we’ve always had.” I’m thinking that often times the things we learn we are good at, are actually things we’ve always been good at, we just didn’t know it.

    Shoeboxed (an expense and receipt tracking company) recently put out a video for National Small Business Week saying thanks to small businesses. I thought it was kinda cool and as I LOVE working with small businesses, I thought I would echo their message. Thanks to all those small businesses that care, those that try to…

    So I just read a very interesting article titled “Progressive Reduction“. The idea is that when you design a site you need to tell people exactly what the buttons mean, and then over time as people get used to the icons you can simplify the buttons down to remove their distracting pull from the design.…
