In any event, I still have to do my blog roll, BUT, BUT, I upgraded to the current WordPress &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kcmeesha.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Mike<\/a> (of Monday&#8217;s comments, and speaking of Monday, boy howdy, we sure proved that we aren&#8217;t a political blog here, though I&#8217;m going to get around to more politics in a minute) &#8211; Mike was kind enough to send me some technical links, which I completely botched installing. Mainly the WP auto-updater. I put it in and Poof! Bye-bye website. Couldn&#8217;t for the life of me straighten it out. So. I went old-school. Line-by-line, read the instructions on how to install the upgrade, followed them diligently, and then &#8211; I do believe successfully &#8211; also installed the &#8220;Subscribe to comments&#8221; plug-in Mike had sent my way as well. I am a little rat-a-tat-tat machine-gun style with all of this, notably the part where I just DELETED entire folders and files. I was pretty sure I had a backup. Heh.\u00a0 I attribute some of my shoot-em-up approach to the fact I lost most of last Saturday creating a CNAME re-direct for the <a href=\"http:\/\/wantskneeds.bigcartel.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Wants &amp; Kneeds<\/a> storefront, which apparently negated my hosting services at directNIC, and once they figured out what I had done, POOF! No worky, nothin&#8217;. I am now also adept at opening and appending numerous trouble tickets in their customer service section! And I&#8217;m just going to have to live with the absence of a redirect.\u00a0 Maybe. I&#8217;m still waggling my eyebrows at that one.\u00a0 However, I&#8217;ve become quite handy with the ol&#8217; <a href=\"http:\/\/filezilla-project.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Filezilla<\/a>, a free FTP program.<\/p>\n<p>SO! I have a lot of Random Orts building up, with pictures even, so I will save that for another day, BUT, I will have a small triumphant dance on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kansascity.com\/news\/politics\/elections\/story\/735933.html\" target=\"_blank\">Phill Kline&#8217;s loss over in Kansas yesterday<\/a>. God, that man makes me crazy. I firmly believe he is the Right to Life&#8217;s version of Joseph McCarthy, and he abused his position of power mightily to further his own political beliefs and agenda, all on the taxpayers&#8217; dime.\u00a0 Phill? I don&#8217;t care if you don&#8217;t agree with Roe v. Wade. IT&#8217;S THE LAW. As a public official, it is your <strong>duty<\/strong> to uphold the law, not squirrel away confidential medical records from your last job as Attorney General, and attempt to wield your limited scope of power like a bludgeon on <strong>the law<\/strong>.\u00a0 Now there&#8217;s talk he&#8217;ll go into politics, and I&#8217;m sure he&#8217;ll have the support of his fervent followers (as I heard this morning on KCUR, pledging to support him in his &#8220;good fight&#8221;).\u00a0 Well, good riddance is what I say, and I will point out that it was you, YOU in the first place, who motivated me to donate to NARAL, and I&#8217;ve continued to do so every year.
