Time Release Plugin test 2

O for a Muse of fire, that would ascend
The brightest heaven of invention,
A kingdom for a stage, princes to act,
And monarchs to behold the swelling scene!
Then should the warlike Harry, like himself,
Assume the port of Mars; and at his heels,
Leash’d in like hounds, should famine, sword, and fire
Crouch for employment. But pardon, gentles all,
The flat unraised spirits that hath dar’d
On this unworthy scaffold to bring forth
So great an object. Can this cockpit hold
The vasty fields of France? Or may we cram
Within this wooden O the very casques
That did affright the air at Agincourt?
O, pardon! since a crooked figure may
Attest in little place a million;
And let us, ciphers to this great accompt,
On your imaginary forces work.
Suppose within the girdle of these walls
Are now confin’d two mighty monarchies,
Whose high upreared and abutting fronts
The perilous narrow ocean parts asunder;
Piece out our imperfections with your thoughts:
Into a thousand parts divide one man,
And make imaginary puissance;
Think, when we talk of horses, that you see them
Printing their proud hoofs i’ the receiving earth.
For ’tis your thoughts that now must deck our kings,
Carry them here and there, jumping o’er times,
Turning the accomplishment of many years
Into an hour-glass: for the which supply,
Admit me Chorus to this history;
Who, prologue-like, your humble patience pray,
Gently to hear, kindly to judge, our play.

Testing Time Release plugin – post 1

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Heading Styles in Frugal Theme

Written by admin on January 18, 2010 - 0 Comments
Categories: Frugal Theme

How  Frugal treats heading styles (this is h3)

Interestingly, in a narrower context – e.g. a text widget – Frugal seems to give h3 (Heading 3) a different function – adding a horizontal line underneath the heading text

The text above uses the “blockquote” function – as rendered by the current version (2.2) of the JavaScript Pull-Quotes plugin  by Stephen Rider. ((Link to plugin site on StriderWeb |  Nerdaphernalia (the plugin is apparently not on – or not findable by me – at the WordPress.org plugins repository)).

- within a post (this is h4)

how  Frugal treats heading styles in posts (using default fonts) (this is h5)

All six styles in ascending order:

Heading 1

Heading 2

Heading 3

Heading 4

Heading 5
Heading 6

How to take advantage of text boxes in widgetized areas

Written by admin on January 18, 2010 - 0 Comments
Categories: Frugal Theme

The text in this widget is intended to appear in the widgetized section “Sidebar 1″ in the Frugal Theme. (That is, the left sidebar,  – or to be more confusing, the column immediately to the right of the main column. By composing this text in the “Add New Post” window(s), one can insert exercise some of the control we take for granted in composing a post. Inserting a bulleted or numbered will show up as a line-break separated list, slthough without the “bullets” (the dingbats, or raised characters, which are the bullets in a bulleted list) or numbers.

  • add a list, as noted above
  • insert a link e.g. Frugal Theme.
  • use common text styling: e.g bold, strikethrough, colored text, italic or a combination of several at the same time.

Use heading styles, e.g.

Heading 1

Heading 2

Heading 3

Heading 4

Heading 5
Heading 6

How do you use those options in a widget?

The WordPress editing functions don’t appear when entering text in a text widget. But most of what you can do in the “new post”/”edit post” area, or using an html editor).NB: save this document early and often, of course, so you don’t suffer the irritations that go with losing work. But save it as a draft – otherwise you’ll end up publishing the same work twice – as a post and again in the sidebar).

Using the “new post” window to compose the post – one then simply

  • Makes changes as desired;
  • navigate to the “html” tab (“next to “visual” in WP editing window)
  • select and copy the post text (i.e. the code, including the text)
  • paste it into a “text” widget (remember, there’s no practical limits on the number of text widgets; each time one is created and saved, WordPress makes another “text” widget available).

I’m sure this doesn’t exhaust styling options in widgetized areas; and while sophisticated users may have ways of exercising more control, the tactics described here are a fairly direct way of managing simple styling in a text widget.

Testing the Time Release plugin from Pie Palace, purveyors of circular, savory or Pie chartsweet baked pastries excellent WordPress Plugins. Here – partly – anyway – is how it works. You write a post – like this one – and in the lower right-hand corner of the “New Post” window is a checkbox:

Check this box, and the post goes into a queue. But you don’t need to pick a date – it’s like a ‘bot that steps in to serve up a post if you don’t meet your own self-imposed schedule.

This post will go up immediately, but the next post I write will go into the queue, which I’m setting for 1 day, and we’ll see what happens.

Here’s a look at the “Settings” page:

I’m not sure that the current version is entirely conflict-free with current versions of WordPress – or what permissions (e.g. 7-5-5 or 7-7-7) for which files in the WordPress installation need to be assigned.

I’ll try to track any new revisions/subversions, sandbox them here – and when I’m done, will create a more complete post on WordPressBlue.

Lincoln’s Remarks at Gettysburg

Written by admin on December 29, 2009 - 0 Comments
Categories: Test Posts including Lorem Ipsum

FOURSCORE and seven years ago our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field  as a final resting-place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But in a larger sense, we can not dedicate—we can not consecrate—we can not hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our poor  power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us, the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which  they who fought here thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these  dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall  have a new birth of freedom and that government of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth

Courage!

What makes the flag on the mast to wave? Courage!

What makes the elephant charge his tusk

In the misty mist, or the dusky dusk?

    Introduction to The Odyssey
    BY the ancient Greeks the authorship of their two great epic poems, the “Iliad” and the “Odyssey,” was ascribed to Homer. Tradition as to the birthplace of this poet varied greatly, but the place most favored was Smyrna in Asia Minor. It was related also that the poet was blind, that he made his home in the island of Chios, and that he died in Ios. (1)
