NextGen Slideshow Fixed - 2011-09-17 20:53:34 -
I uninstalled the NextGEN plugin and reinstalled it but my gallery links were demolished. I will re-import them to set up a new link table - when I have time. Thanks again for the heads up.

No I am not giving up on blogging or podcasting!

On the contrary, I have 96 private postings from the last 14 months on various topics which I shared with 43 WordPress trainees. 29 of these WordPress enthusiasts are from the eTwinning community and the remainder are teachers from around Ireland and some PC users who attended last year's Digital Bootcamp organised by the INTo and delivered by Apple last summer in Alexander College, Dublin.

I will tidy them up, especially the posts with links and publish them (publicly) over the next few weeks.

Thanks for the "Back 2 School" emails.

ClustrMaps and site stats

I have received several emails recently relating to ClustrMaps being out of sync with the rest of the website statistics. All I can say is that schools are on holidays at the moment and ClustrMaps updates are based on specific hit thresholds. So it would appear we have fallen below the daily, then weekly requirement for an [...]

Rebuid In Progress

I am slowly re-inserting all the missing images. Many of the plugins are failing to show up in WordPress although they are visible on the server. podPress is active and working perfectly but is not listed in the plugins on WordPress.

The list goes on and on. It would appear that the wp-content directory has [...]

125% up front

I had a great time in the London. Thanks for asking.

Further to the Skype conference last night . . . There are still lending institutions giving 125 % loans to couples in their early 20s on entry level salaries. It is crazy for all involved. The couples are crucified for at least the next [...]

Images gone walkabout

The images from the majority of posts have gone missing. I have rolled back several backups but the images are “hollow” That is, the title is visible but the image is in a parallel dimension somewhere. I have asked Dr Who to keep an eye out for them.

AodhÃ¡n Cullen does it again!

Congratulations Aodhán on achieving the accolade of BusinessWeek Young Entrepreneur of the Year. You deserve It.

Flash% Bang# Wallop!

The site has to be rebuilt following a glitch on my laptop which occurred while I was posting during an electrical storm.

Never Again!

I will never talk money again. I will go back to my pet hate – four wheel drive vehicles.

My knowledge of US exchequer dealings is restricted to Bloomberg and CNN reports. I think the US banks spread their bets around other banks. It is literally a big gambling scenario fuelled by the American dream [...]

Negative Equity

I am sorry to learn about your house. – 18,000 of a drop in one year is a lot but if you purchased the property as a home you will probably see out the slump.

As regards your bank rates question. I think the daily rate quoted in the media is the “inter-bank rate” based [...]

Money Moaning

I was not pontificating last week. I would be quite happy to repost the “Moaning” post if the poster supplies a valid email address. I can only presume he or she was one of the people at my dinner table at the workshop last week. I have returned the blog to registered members only.

All [...]

A year on the go

Happy Birthday Once Upon A Blog.

It is hard to believe that a year has passed. Thanks again to all my teaching colleagues who tested the site during the summer holidays last year. Thanks is also due to DICTaT and CESI members for their emails and verbal support. A special mention for the [...]
