I checked the Bluebird Box this week, and the eggs were warm each time, and still intact. The last check I did was Saturday. I didn’t check today, Sunday, but will first thing tomorrow, that’s Monday, Memorial Day in the USA. Hatching should have occurred already, so I sure hope there are baby birds in that box, not another full failed clutch!

When you feel like
I feel like posting but have nothing much to say. So this is it!
WP and Category Lists
< ?php wp_list_cats('optioncount=1&children=0&sort_column=name'); ?>
I found that by accident. I had been using:
< ?php wp_list_cats('optioncount=1&children=true&hide_empty=1'); ?>
or
< ?php wp_list_cats('optioncount=1&children=false&hide_empty=0'); ?>
and the reverse of both, flip-flopped, if you will.

Some Word Press stuff
I’m not sure I’ll be using Word Press entirely, though I’m trying to work it out that I do like it enough to do so
One thing is, with MT I had customized my archive paths entirely to be easy to use based on date or category. Movable Type is a static setup.
WP is dynamic, so all paths are “virtual”. In order to use “virtual” paths entirely one must have .htaccess available. I don’t [yet]. ReWrite rules are used to direct traffic, that’s what WP uses .htaccess for. [I have other uses for .htaccess as well, so I hope it'll be turned on soon!]
Part of the permalink structure of WP allows you to customize the paths, and if you don’t have Rewrite access the custom paths DO work, as I’ve found out, except for certain aspects of them: Continue reading
2nd Nesting of 2004
The Bluebirds did make a second nest, and laid 4 beautiful blue eggs. I didn’t take any photos this time. They look just like photos of the first nest this year, minus one egg
It’s near time for this clutch to hatch. If I recall correctly (which I highly think I am doing so) she laid the fourth egg on a Friday and began sitting that day, which would mean: this week – Day 12 on Wednesday, so hatching by Saturday, most likely, Lord willing.
Since their first clutch failed this year, I’m very hopeful that this one will be 100% successful.
