Marking 2 Links Down

Firstly i want to say i accidentally upgraded my wp to 3.0 before making any backups, it can’t be stopped after clicking “upgrate to 3.0″, but whatever, it looks quite nice though.

Secondly, there’re two sites i wanna mark them down just in case i need to buy some cheap books which can’t be found here in this great country.

2:abebooks.com

DropDown menu is blocked by FCG (Featured Content Gallery)

I’m working on a project about setting up a shopping site by using WP, and found rich-affiliate might be the best theme for the site. but there’re problems after some modifications to the theme, here’s a piece of advise i want to share with you.

FCG is a great plugin for image display, but it constantly block the dropdown menu of some themes, below is just the solution for rich-affiliate, because the style page of every theme is different, which means the solution should base on the theme you use. there you go.

find below lines in style.php

#nav li:hover ul, #nav li li:hover ul, #nav li li li:hover ul, #nav li.sfhover ul, #nav li li.sfhover ul, #nav li li li.sfhover ul {
left: 0;
width: 14em;
}

add z-index:101; into it, makes it like this

#nav li:hover ul, #nav li li:hover ul, #nav li li li:hover ul, #nav li.sfhover ul, #nav li li.sfhover ul, #nav li li li.sfhover ul {
left: 0;
width: 14em;
z-index:101;
}

same file, search for lines

ul.nav {
position:relative;
height:<?php echo $rich_navitemheight;?>;
font-family:<?php echo $rich_font4;?>;
font-size:<?php echo $rich_fontsize3;?>;
<? if ($rich_capitals == “true”) { ?>
text-transform: uppercase;
<? } ?>
}

makes it into this

ul.nav {
position:relative;
height:<?php echo $rich_navitemheight;?>;
font-family:<?php echo $rich_font4;?>;
font-size:<?php echo $rich_fontsize3;?>;
<? if ($rich_capitals == “true”) { ?>
text-transform: uppercase;
<? } ?>
z-index:100;
}

then the problem should be solved.

When Doraemon Meets Super Saiyan

What should we call it? Super Doraemon? the guy who designed this is a genius, because both charecters mean everything to me back to the time when i was a kid, i think the fusion of them makes me unable to forget anyone of them: Doraemon and Super Saiyan.

The Stages of Grief

First hear from House, then found a page here, says that there’re 5 stages of grief, they’re:

1. Denial and Isolation.
2. Anger.
3. Bargaining.
4. Depression.
5. Acceptance.

now i’m thinking, if there’s possible that someone can skip from stage 1 to the final, or there’s no stage 1 at all, straight to the stage 5…

Writing Your Memoirs: Enriching Your Storytelling

The first draft is the foundation of your story. Now it can be developed into a rich, colorful tale.

My writing is all over the place…

One idea for improving your writing skills is to read your favorite authors with a critical eye. Think about what makes their stories so good. You’re not seeking to imitate. Just perhaps incorporate their style into your writing when it’s appropriate.

The mantra of many writing teachers is: show, don’t tell. An example of telling: ‘the girl was sad.’ vs. an example of showing: ‘tears trickled through the dirt on the girl’s sunburned face.’ Showing is more descriptive and there’s no doubt the girl is sad. The emotions seem more real and compelling.

It’s best to use common words. No one wants to frequently stop reading to look up words.

Your story should have a focus. Pick an event, or idea, and stick with it. Then focus on different aspects of your story. Think of how you would photograph the event, say for example at a wedding. You may take a picture of the church, of guests arriving. A picture showing the inside of the church, of the bride walking down the aisle and the happy couple exiting the church. A room full of guests at the reception. Then zoom in on the flower girl so she’s alone in your lens looking like a princess in her beautiful sparkling dress. Zoom in again on the groom’s father talking about his son as an awkward adolescence. You get the picture. :-)

Going off on an unrelated tangent, no matter how interesting, will confuse the reader and weaken your story. Leave out unnecessary facts. Don’t ramble or include irrelevant information. Or separate them into another Story.

I Got You Babe

I found that plugin just now, which is exactly what i’m looking for for months! The name of this plugin is called: Front Page Excluded Categories, and here’s the introduction:

A basic plugin that excludes posts in one or more categories from appearing on the front page. This is especially useful if you use an automated posting system, like the del.icio.us bookmark blog posting feature, that updates your blog regularly. In such a case, you can assign these posts to an excluded category so they don’t appear on the front page, but do appear in a category page.

These all means i can make some posts “disappear” from my home page but can still be visited via exact url, cool right? There’re people like me are writing paid posts for their living, then this plugin is the best choice if they’re using WP. But…it’s a little bit difficult for me if i want to use this plugin, because i’m using 72pines service, and i can’t install this plugin by myself…All i can do is to suggest the 72pines team to install this plugin and that might not work :sad:

See What I Have Dugg

This picture represents everything that is good and pure in the world. I feel like a small child waking up and scampering down the stairs to see his presents for the first time on a snowy, Christmas morning. Except, now, the tree is in my pants.

Tricks to Help you Remember People’s Names

How many times have you seen someone and absolutely forgotten their name? It happens to all of us, all of the time. Ian’s Messy Desk is a blog that I subscribe to and today he lists 6 tactics to use as a remedy.

Before, we send you over, here are some things that I personally use:

Name tags: If you meet someone at a tradeshow or other corporate-type event, look at their name tag at least twice during the conversation. You don’t want to stare at it, especially if it’s a woman your talking to (chest area) but visual aids increase memory.

Famous Names: I have been doing this one since grade school and really, it is kind of childish but it works. If the person has a name like Harris (for example), either first name or last, immediately create a rhyme. Ferris (Bueller’s Day Off), Paris (Hilton), etc. Their face along with the rhyme combines the visual element you need as well as a mental ‘something’. I don’t know the science, but I know that my first grade teacher was Mrs. Stapleton, my second grade teacher was Mrs. Rogner, my third grade teacher was Mrs. Langerman, my 4th grade teacher was Mrs. Johnson, and my fifth grade teacher was the deceased, Mrs. Kuchida who taught me 7×8=56 and taught me the trick of 5-6-7-8. When she died mid-year in a car accident, my new 5th grade teacher was Mr. Kropp. Hell, that was all 20 years ago!

Take a snapshot: In the movies, there are scenes that freeze on people as they are shaking hands for the first time. It is supposed to draw your attention to the meeting so you can remember it later on when the script calls for a deception or something. Do the same thing. When you extend your hand to give a good shake, make a mental snapshot of the person’s expression. Again, it’s all visual.
Those 3 tips have lasted me for years and frankly, I don’t forget anyone. I don’t want to sound like Robert Di Niro or some gangster, but I remember everything from everybody – good and bad – and I treat them in kind.

So, take those tips and then head over to Ian’s Messy Desk for 6 more, ok 5, I will share one of his here:

Repeat the name back – It’s easy to confirm what you heard by saying something like, “Nice to meet you, Joan.” If the person’s name is a little unusual, you can repeat it to make sure you’re pronouncing it correctly. If you’re unclear about a name given via telephone, ask for the spelling.
Saying the name immediately helps lock it in the memory.
