How do you explain to someone that Wordpress is a blog and a website to somebody who thinks they have to be separate?

This is one of my favorites from the site right now. http://8bc.org/music/FearofDark/Surfing+on+a+Sine+Wave/

Like 8-bit old-school Nintendo music? 8bitcollective (http://8bc.org) is the best original 8-bit music community you're missing out on.

I know people aren't supposed to like thier in-laws generally speaking, but my father-in-law makes it so damn easy :-/

The big bummer was that my wife's dad, who said he was going to make it out so the reception, stayed at home instead to work on his stove.

So, my wife entered the State Fair art show. They award prizes to artists based upon skill level, quality of art and such...

Ugh, I log onto facebook for a second and I'm already getting instant messges from people.

The web doesn't work like Microsoft Word, and it'll ease your frustrations if you understand and can work in HTML limitations.

I think it's in a person's best interests to do a little digging on Google on HTML tutorials if you see yourself blogging on a regular basis

Turns out when we both look at a color spectrum, I can see about 6-7 main bands of color while she can see about 10-11 bands.
holyrobot
So I found out my wife can see more colors than I can last night while randomly talking about our bed spread...

I like kids... it's just the upbringing these kids have had. The screaming / whining / crying never stops. Did I mention they're all girls?

My room mate's four grandchildren are in the house for the second night in a row. God help us -- God help us all.

I think I'm out of ideas.

I'm jealous, I admit it.

After trying for a baby for 1.5 years now, it's getting irritating when people tell me about being pregnant with their 2nd/3rd kid now.

Okay, I've given up on godaddy. They blocked my IP address for some reason and won't change it. New hosting suggestions?
holyrobot
Literally had the IP address and the name ip.secureserver.net which is a Godaddy name and they kept saying "It wasn't me! It's your ISP."
holyrobot
Finally ended up doing a trace hop... these site problems are definitely Godaddy's fault. IP addresses don't lie.
holyrobot
Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. I'm going to sleep on it and see if it's a DNS propogation thing. More reason to put off work.
holyrobot
So the word on the street is that Godaddy is effing around with DNS settings and everyone's suffering because of it. Gotta wait to see...
holyrobot
Tried using a proxy and I can connect with no problem to the troubled sites. So... is it an ISP issue then?
