While my skills in php/mySql are sufficient enough to create #WordPress themes and modify plugins, I know they could use some refinement. Having received a month free trial at Lynda.com. I have been following along with the course ”
PHP with MySQL Beyond the Basics” and have learned new tips and tricks – especially object-oriented approaches. The only downside to the training is that you do not get course files unless you are a premium subscriber at a cost of $375.00 per year! While I fully understand the concept of paying for both content and training, it would be very nice to be able to get the course files as a monthly subscriber. Couldn’t Lynda.com just charge a bit more per month? This seems very reasonable to me since I really would not need a full-year subscription.

Trying out some fun fonts for headers on my website. I am using Typekit which is very easy to use – just go through the setup and select some fonts! I’ve just signed up for the free fonts so I don’t know what is available with a paid subscription but it is interesting trying it out. I have selected Inconsolata for my first try at this.

Now that I am using #WordPress 2.9.1, I thought I would try to embed a youtube video. When I tried, I only got a link – nothing embedded. I have the correct “Attempt to automatically embed all plain text URLs” in the media settings checked. So, I naturally tried a Google search to see if I could resolve the issue. What I found was that many others had experienced the same thing!

So, does #WordPress 2.9.1 support embedded video or not?

I attended a FREE class on how to more effectively use Linkedin at the my profile could use a little work.
