Happy Father’s Day to you, Jeff.
I like to think my dad is enjoying Father’s Day with his dad — their first together in over 30 years.
Oops, that would have been last year. Where has the time gone?
Do you suppose they really were ever apart, McGehee? But a hausfrau who’s also a father, although it offends the sensibilities of progressives, deserves special recognition today, I think.
Happy dad’s day to you Jeff. I have to go visit my dad in a bit. He’s going on his 9th week in the hospital.
I like the upgrades. LOVE that we can search the archives by month. Will the “favorites” be back?
I think this is Brad Pitt’s first Father’s Day. They got the Ethiopian girl last July I think. At the time her publicist said she was “adopting as a single mother” though, but I still would like to send a Happy Father’s Day to Brad, just to acknowledge the whole nobility of his selfless willingness to share his life with a single mom with three kids. I hope Angelina appreciates the sacrifices he’s made.
Thanks. Happy Dad’s day to you too Jeff (needs a name change)
There are no timestamps. This is how Billy Pilgrim must have felt.
The Recent Comments thinger can link to discrete comments, but the happyfeet, he cannot.
Carin doesn’t care that she doesn’t know when she posted. Carin is just happy archives-by-month exist.
2:13 EST.
Dan finds that this is a handy frame for reconstructing the previous evening. Sorry about your dad, Carin. Hope Keith’s doing well.
Some substance abuse is just so serious.
Happy father’s day. I’m going to visit mine for a few weeks starting Wednesday. You must enjoy them while they’re here.
Carin comments, at 3:05, to thank Dan for his kind words. I gave my dad kidney a year ago -so I figure I’m set-up for life in terms of having to give him gifts. I mean, how do I top that? He got a bacterial infection though two months ago, and lost a leg. Slow recovery, but he’s in good spirits.
Have we heard from Keith lately?
I spoke to his mom several days ago, but he was about to head out to the hospital. I’ll try him again today. He’s got a complicated situation, but I’m not able to disclose anything, really.
Ok, I think I’m around my three-year anniversary of reading this blog. I searched the archives … best I can figure I started reading June 2004. Maybe May. Can’t be positive.
Do I get pie?
Happy Fathers’ Day, Jeff! Kiss the kid.
Happy Father’s Day, Jeff, and to all the other dads, too.
I see there’s no preview function. You’re very trusting of us.
I use bad behavior to control the comment spam. There are other wordpress plug-ins that might help as well, and they usually play nice together.
Talked to my pop a while ago , got the cool presents ( abstract ceramic art , painted , of course . ) from my little two . Lotta forty somethings here , no ? Happy fathers day to all .
And a Happy Being Satchel’s Dad Day to you, Jeff.
Jeff–
You may wish to provide a link to this software magnifying glass freeware for your diminished sight users.

I couldn’t find a plug-in extension for WordPress. Maybe there is one, though.
In Firefox, if you hold the control key down and scroll down with your mouse scroll wheel, the text will get bigger. God help us if the Chinese get ahold of this technology.
Wow, it looks just like Protein Wisdom, only smaller!
Whoah. This is a weird. Happy Fathers Day, I guess (acceopt it seems kind of a patriarchy).
Happy Fathers Day to you as well, Jeff
I like the new format.
Jeff – Is Mobile PW going to be available in this format ?
A very happy Father’s Day to you also, Jeff. My best wishes.
Happy Father’s day to you, Jeff. Hang on to ’em while they’re here, becauce they won’t be around, forever. I’ve got good memories, now, and a flag in a triangle-shaped presentation case.
But, as a father myself, I fully understand and appreciate the circle of life. As was passed on to me, I pass on to mine, and so on. With improvements, we hope…
Happy Fathers Day! Looks like someone got a new set of duds!
One of the best parts of Father’s Day is knowing how it makes Mandy grind her little yellow teeth.
timestamps! are they PST?
seems so
i make colory words… over heremaybe
hmmm… words not colory, or over there
in Firefox, the text-edit buttons aren’t really there, you have to hover for the pop-up to see which is which (ver. 2.0.0.4)
Something looks…different.
Holy shit! Things change fast around here.
the text-edit stuff is fine in IE though
that was supposed to be colory
"hey dad, happy fathers day. school is going well, cricket is pretty shit and got exams next week. so basically its all a load of bollocks at the moment. what have you been doing lately? hows the tennis going? "
It may not look much, but its the first Fathers’ Day message I’ve ever had
Father’s Day is a work in progress.
No place for the word "twatwaffle". Damn.
Happy Father’s Day to everyone!
Jeff
Happy Fathers Day
Happy Father’s Day to all. BECAUSE OF THE PSEUDO-GENEALOGY!!!
Happy Fathers Day, Jeff and Dan and whoever else posts and are fathers.
Happy Fathers’ day. God bless us, everyone! Like what you did with the drapes…. do they match the carpet?
the buttons are here in the firefox now
Does anyone know which fucking box the hookah is in?
We’re still working out the fine tuning. PW pub will be up soon as well.
In Firefox, I can see a ton of text editing features.
Thanks Jeff, right back at ya big guy.Hope the rest of you Dads had a good one too.I told my two kids to jump in a lake.Then I jumped in after them. Now I’m tired and sunburned, but it was a great day!
Hummmm, what happened to paragraphs? Testing, testing….
yeah – I suspect it’s my firewall that’s blocking probably part of the pajamasmedia stuff or the ads, so until they time out the text thing can’t load – at work, things are less firewalled and such……maybe the Recent Comments could be just a bit higher on the page so you don’t need to scroll down when yourefresh the home page to see it? Maybe on top of the feed stuff?
I had a paragraph in there too.
This sentence starts a new par…
ok – shift+enter does the trick
Good thing we still have patriarchs around to do the procreating. Nice new look JG, happy man day. Hooah!
I’ve been in the hospital for the last week and was supposed to stay until tomorrow. Hospitals are no place to get well. I started thrashing around–calling the exchange and demanding to speak to my doctor (who wasn’t on-call) so that I could be home with my 5 and 3 year old boys for Father’s Day, and lo, it worked. Huzzah!
The particular hospital where I stayed was apparently kept in a field inside of which it is perpetually 1979, because there was no cable tv, no internet and the nurses were rude. Fortunately, I was able to read PW on my Treo and it was my lone source of happiness. Even the re-read of the classic Masks of the Liberal Illuminati was worth every little tiny Treo-screen-full.
Jeff, thank you sincerely for doing what you do. Happy Father’s Day as well.
This new format is a humongous pain in the ass, but I persisted so I could tell malaclapse to hang in there, and happy dad’s day to all involved. My dad disowned me awhile back, but I offer a good-natured slug on the chin for old times sake.
<blockquote>You can still do the quotey thing in this editor, yes?</blockquote>
oh. not like that
<blockquote>one more try</blockquote>
<blockquote>not getting the hang of this – it worked at 62…<blockquote>
ok – if I get the code in here and submit BEFORE the editing tools load, it works, if I try to do it in the editor, no dice, even if I use the HTML toggle off dealio…
Ok. Last test.<blockquote>I used that Firefox extension that lets you right-click and "remove this element". So this should work.</blockquote>and to make sure I have the par thing down…lessee…
this is very humbling
After that unpleasantness from last year, I suspect that I’m not the only one who feels slightly protective of young Satchel and not the only one of your praying readers who sends up an occasional prayer for his protection. He’s very blessed to have you as a father and may he grow up to kick a** and take names.
spel chek?
No.
Don’t worry.Be happy.Feet.
I miss my Dad. Happy Father’s Day, y’all.
I have been hanging on for some time waiting for a feature that will let me express what a total anus a tedious fellow I think heet is but which still lets me get the insult in.
This is cool.
Bollocks!
What happened to my "strike through"?
Happy belated Father’s day, Jeff and to all who walk through Jeff’s playland, drinking the booze and leaving footprints on the carpet.
BTW: I can feel the Feng Shui in the new digs.
My little dog spot got hit by a car, hubba hubba hubbaPut his guts in a box and put him in a drawer , hubba hubba hubba
Regular. Paragraph. Italical. Bolded. Underliney. BECAUSE OF THE EMPHASIS. The colored thing (pink for fancy).Which rhymes with link (NFSW).
this is a hard oneto make poetry line breaksoccasionallyMany annoying emoticonica. Okay. I can live with this.
I cooked yesterday. Pollo alla Bolognese with Fettucini Alfredo. Plus I knocked off most of a bottle of Pinot Grigio. Happy belated Fathers Day, Jeff.
Many annoying emoticonica.
Which apparently aren’t functioning. Oh well, happy monday.
Actually, I’m see what you mean about the paragraphs. And also my poetry lines were kaput.
struck through
Has it worked this time?
no, it bleedin’ hasn’t
I’m not one of those people who starts raging inarticulately and smashing the furniture just because I can’t operate a simple text programme.
I’m more the type to spend ten years lurking in the shrubbery with a sawn off twelve gauge waiting for the softare geek to open the door for his pizza
I was enjoying watching the format change every few minutes last night. Colored text?
Hm. No colored text? I didn’t even get a paragraph break on that?colored text?
Weird. If a preview button is available, I’d enable it.
We are still working on tweaking everything. This is our first time with Word Press.
My wife spent a lot of time on this over the weekend getting it live. So howsabout cutting us a little bit of slack?
Cynn — y0u find the new format a pain in the ass (which is as close to the same format as Expression Engine as we could get, with a few requested changes, like commenters name ON TOP of the posts)? Try being more specific.
Otherwise you just come off like a carping pain in the ass yourself.
As for preview — my understanding is that when we get it working, what you see in the comment box will be what actually
appears.So far that appears to be the case for me, but who knows?I hit enter at the end of a line and I get a new paragraph. But I’m test driving this thing just as you are:
Here’s five syllables
Here’s seven more syllables
And five syllables
To do this, I had to backspace at the end of the line to get rid of the automatic spacing.
Let’s see if it works when I post it.
Got a phone call from my son in Iraq yesterday. Best Father’s Day present anyone could ever get.
Learning curve,Learning curve,Starting up the learning curve… It appears to be moderately steep But perhaps there are footholds
despite dispensing with the blockquote function.But, in fact, I prefer to do my own HTML. It doesn’t always work, but, then, neither does this.Regards,Ric
So… it would appear that underline doesn’t work, nor does strikethru. They show up in the previews but not the post.
Left, center, right, and justify don’t do anything at all. <br><br>And it doesn’t do paragraphs without special considerations. Regards,Ric
Geeze Louise! WordPress, huh? Not bad (kicks tire) get the lighter fixed, huh?
Hmm. Backspace, eh? So this should be one lineand this should be anotherand yet a third.Excuse the carping, Jeff. We’re just playing with the new toy.Regards,Ric
Strike throughworks for me. Or at least, it did on my previous comment.And I was able to pen that haiku, above, with the proper line breaks. Could be that different browsers handle things differently.
No problem, Jeff. I was just testing some stuff. Whatever else happens, at least you can rest assured that it’s lightyears better than the "new comments thingy" over at Ace’s.
Jeff, A very happy, if belated, Father’s Day to you! Hope you got some grilling done. Now, I’m going to play with your nifty new icons. Pretty cool, JG, pretty cool.
Take that as a given. FYI, I’m on Firefox.
A bulleted listbutdoes it have anybullets? Strikingthrough
A bulleted listbutdoes it have any bullets? and more strikethrough.
Left margin is cut off in IE6. But do
bullets work?
that’s the question
Striking underlining bold italic
My comments don’t show up… I’ve been BANNED!! ATTICA! ATTICA! ATTICA!
I’m on the latest build of Firefox, by the way.
ATTICA! ATTICA ATTICA! ATTI… say, is that a cookie?
I’m on Firefox 2.0.0.4. JavaScript and Java are enabled, and the popup blocker is turned off. But it doesn’t appear to work.
OTOH if I don’t let the script load,
Some things work pretty well
Others don’t
and it doesn’t get to strip the HTML out.
Now let’s see what that does…
Interesting. It did the ordered list… but didn’t number it!
Ach. Tha’s nowt s’strange as computers.
Regards,
Ric
And, of course, debugging the fallback doesn’t help. Jeff wants the post editor to work. So, let’s see.This (beginning with "this") should be a new paragraph.
This should not be indented, but should be a separate paragraph.
That’ll do for this instance. Post and see…
OK, the script is counting wrong. The displayed post begins with a paragraph tag, but there is neither break nor paragraph between “see” and “This” (see above). There is a break after “new paragraph.”, but it has the funny-looking space-slash within the tag but after the tagname. It then issues the blockquote for the indented part, but there is a close-paragraph tag (slash-p) inside the blockquote (where it does nothing) and it closes the blockquote instead of leaving it open for the second indent (which is a different happening.)
The break tag should be after “see.”, and the close-paragraph tag should be after “paragraph.” if it is used at all. So it has counted one fewer entities that should be tagged than it actually has. Does that help at all?
Regards,
Ric
Doesn’t help <em>me</em>, but it might help my wife, who works on this stuff for me.
I have to concentrate on potty training a little boy. Which is my excuse for not understanding anything but the most basic coding.
OHO. If I don’t let the editor script load, a single [enter] gets turned into a break tag, and two of them become a close-paragraph tag and a paragraph tag, in that order. And my post no. 104 was entered as an ordered list, but the preprocessor turned it into a paragraph, with breaks at the end of each line and a close-paragraph tag after the last one. So there are two preprocessors and they’re fighting one another.
“104” should be “102” in my #107. Now, let me see if I can cut&paste, then mark up #104 the way I think it should be, using no [enter] at all.This (beginning with “this”) should be a new paragraph.
This should not be indented, but should be a separate paragraph.
That’ll do for this instance. Post and see…
Happy Father’s Day! wasn’t on the computer much yesterday as RTO was working on it. everything is so new and shiny today. spell check seems to be working, it’s underlining things I mistype.
Yep. The first preprocessor is counting wrong; that scrambles the output of the editor script.
I think that the comments box and your post entry box are using different versions of the preprocessor script. You might look at the source of your posting code, and see what the “action=” specification in the FORM tag is. For us, it’s “https://proteinwisdom.com/wp-comments-post.php”.
Regards,
Ric
MOBILE PW ? !
Testing in IE67
bullets
yet?
Firefox1.5 on the Mac Mini doogie howserm.d.
It’s all working well for me, though I have to say I have an immediate dislike for those "snap" popups on the external links. They’re visually distracting when I want to read and not worry about where my mouse happens to be hovering an any particular moment. The picture provided doesn’t even seem very useful from a content perspective unless I’m really wondering what somebody’s front page looks like – in which case I’d just go there myself.
So far, it looks like I’ve had the best luck with IE7 on Windows. No strikethrough or underline, but it gave me roughly the format equivalent of a bulleted list only without bullets.
An avid reader of Jeff’s site, I am. But convinced that inclusion the SNAP preview function is ill-considered, I be.
JD —
You should get Mobile PW without any special link. Give it a go.
This is a different font than yesterday, no? It’s more like the old one. I really liked the old one … what was it anyway? Also, I would like to see the recent comments higher on the page so they are there when the page loads and when you refresh.
I tryed your shift+ enter for a paragraph break happyfeet, didn’t work.Where sould I be holding my tongue?Spell check doesn’t seem to be helping me out either, and if anyone needs that, it’s me my friend.I have Firefox, no idea what version.
76 . Comment by Witheld on 6/18 @ 6:06 am # That might be the best comment ever left on the innernuts.
Well, shit on a stick!
Nothing seems to work for me. It makes me feel like this.
Well,That worked better.Let me attempt try som stuff again…
I’ll try the shift enter thing againnew par here
now it will work
new par
it won’t work with the editor thingy – Ric is on the case I think. Is ok – long as I can spress mahself is all good
I would myself be happy to pony up to outsource this business to some web consultanty designer person. We have people for this no? They need to eat yes?
One time I can do a paragraph,
Then I can’t.
I’m confused.
I toggeled the HTML source, guess that’s how I gotta do it.
I’ll figur it out eventually…

Over the last twenty years, I have had the gratification of owning numerous diverse cats. I loved watching them and associating with them in a sense that entirely a cat lover would realize. They entirely had varied personalities, from being distant and pompous to being timid and shy. But altogether they were capable to express their wants and desires to me somehow. One exceptional trait they all share is the one of independency mingled with the delight of partaking in a purring instance with his human acquaintance.
Happy fathers day! lol
This is a very beautiful website, I have enjoyed my visit here very much. I’m very honoured to sign in your guestbook. Thanking you for the great work that you are doing here.
This is a great page. And the contents are really that worth reading. I will add this to my own library
