Note: I’m currently using the free version of poEdit, so that’s the version on which these instructions are based.

1. Start Poedit, then select File → New.

2. Choose your desired Language of the translation, then click OK.

3. Click Extract from Sources. In the dialog which appears, the Sources paths tab should be selected by default. If not, select it.

4. Click the New Item icon (i.e., the second one, which looks like a little square), then enter the path to the directory containing your source files; for example:

   /Users/girlie/Documents/theme-name/

   and press enter to save the new path.

5. Select the Sources keywords tab, then click the New Item icon (again, the one which looks like a little square).

6. Enter __ (that’s underscore underscore), then press enter to save the new keyword.

7. Click the New Item icon again.

8. Enter _e (that’s underscore e), then press enter to save the new keyword.

9. Select the Translation properties tab, and enter your desired Project Name.

10. For Source code charset, select UTF-8 (recommended).

11. Enter any of the other details you wish to complete (but do not change any pre-existing settings or values unless you know what you’re doing); then click OK.

A new window should display, which summarizes the list of strings that were found to translate, based on the supplied keywords (__ and _e).

Choose File → Save, give a name to your .po file (ex., theme-name.po), and save it.

Now, you can either proceed with your own translations, or exit poEdit if you were just needing to create a master translation file for later use (or distribution).

This CSS Reference lists all standard CSS properties, pseudo-classes and pseudo-elements, @-rules, units, and selectors in alphabetic order. It allows you to quickly access detailed information for each of them. It not only lists the CSS 1 and CSS 2.1 properties, but also is a CSS3 reference that links to any CSS3 property and concept standardized, or already stabilized.

What can you do more of that makes a difference, shifts the balance, has an impact, adds beauty, changes the status quo, creates something worth being created, improves life, moves things forward, reduces waste, engages people, or allows love?

Do More Great Work (Michael Bungay Stanier)

I must have restarted ten times before I realized it just wasn’t going to work itself out. So I turned to Google, and found a fix on the MozillaZine forums:

1. Shut down Firefox.
2. Look in your Profile Folder and delete these three files:
   • extensions.ini
   • extensions.cache
   • extensions.rdf
3. Restart Firefox.

Firefox will recreate the deleted files, rescanning your add-ons as it goes.

This did cause some add-ons I’d previously disabled (but left installed) to becoming enabled again. So I had to go through and re-disable them, then restart Firefox one last time to get back to where I was before things went awry. But it was much better than what I thought I was faced with (i.e., creating a new profile from scratch)!!

Right now, it’s only been up for four days. I was having some issues with TweetDeck chewing up my RAM, so I rebooted the MacBook to give it a fresh start again. But I think the longest I’ve had it going was seventeen days. Nice!!

// disable post revisions
define('WP_POST_REVISIONS', false);

Then, clean up the database with this SQL:

DELETE a,b,c  
FROM wp_posts a  
LEFT JOIN wp_term_relationships b ON (a.ID = b.object_id)  
LEFT JOIN wp_postmeta c ON (a.ID = c.post_id)  
WHERE a.post_type = 'revision'
