Overheard in Shakespeare-Ville

“Last night I had a dream that my [you-know-what] suddenly grew to like 20 inches long.”

“Did it really?”

“You wouldn’t touch me, of course, but you were making a fortune by pimping me out.”

“Sounds about right to me.”

Have I mentioned lately that I’m really enjoying the move to WordPress?  (It’s not a 20-inch you know what, of course, but it’s proving to be rather fun.) There are just so many fun things that can be tweaked and manipulated… Yesterday, I sat down to update the blogroll a bit. My initial plan was to do a brief write-up of each site similar to this but then I had the brilliant idea that perhaps screenshots would be easier (and pretty to boot). Of course, this means that I had to spend an awful lot of time going to each site to get a current picture and then adding the picture to the links and so on and so on and so on…

And I’ve decided that brilliant ideas are never as easy as they should be.

Which kind of screws up that whole “brilliant” aspect much as a 20-inch you know what will do to a girl’s innards, I suspect. (See how I nicely tied that all together? It’s an art, I tell ‘ya.)

If I missed you (because I’m flighty like that), please let me know.

    You are so talented and so not a grade A b!t@h. Thank you again for the amazing words of wisdom yesterday, I am so grateful!

      You are more than welcome, honey! I’m glad everything was so easily worked out!

    That so sounds like a conversation that would be held in this house ;-)

    I like the picture blogrolls but I can’t even begin to imagine how tedious that would be.

      Actually, now they’ll all be a piece of cake… In the link manager, WP has a field for an image address. I just set the page to display that image rather than the link itself. So now it’s all pretty much auto behind visiting the site and getting a screenshot when I initially want to add it.

      It was just doing them all at once that was pissy. LOL

    Wow, my blog (ooh blogs! The comix made it too!) looks so much better as a screenshot. You can pimp my 17-inch… screenshots anytime.

    • Judith Shakespeare

      Man, I’m going to have to get one of those hats… A pimp simply isn’t a pimp without a pimpin’ hat. :)

    Yer like my hero and stuff ……..

    Looks good honey!!

  • Jennae

    having an IQ of 300 is kind of like having a 20 inch (you know). It’s nice to brag about, but you still only can use a small part of it.

    This looks awesome! (And much easier than what I did, I think…) It will be so nice for people to have pictures to see to help them choose blogs to visit. Genius strikes again.

    Though I’ll admit to laughing out loud at Jennae’s comment.
