This post is a bit off-topic, but seeing as how I found a fix for an issue that seems to be affecting a lot of WordPress users, and I find many a solution to my WordPress issues on other blogs, I thought I would post.
If you are finding that activating certain plugins on your self-hosted WordPress installation is breaking the Visual Editor, this may be the fix you are looking for.

Just a quick admin note that the blog has been upgraded to WordPress 2.3 from 2.2.1. I used the WordPress Auto-Update plugin for the first time, and it worked great.

The very cool and creative Skull-A-Day blog is a year long art project where the artist creates one piece of skull art every day for a year.
There’s already some very clever and creative skulls, and more to come for sure. This is a great exercise in developing creativity, as you are forced to constantly change your perspective, and will eventually start seeing the world around you differently — “meta-programming the supercomputer” as Robert Anton Wilson liked to call it.

Illustration and art.

I have recently become an invited artist over the community illustration blog Sugar Frosted Goodness. If you aren’t familiar with the site, it’s a great community site for illustrators where not only do members post artwork, but also a weekly theme is put together where the contributing artists all submit their interpretation. Similar to the Illustration Friday concept as well as other community artist sites who maintain similar events.
There is lots of great artwork over at SFG, be sure to check it out. It’s a great site to see regular work as well as find some inspiration and creative community.
Lately work has become quite busy, and updating the blog has become less frequent because of this. I try to, for the most part, make sure the entries are substantial and well-linked, and that takes time. I thought that it would be preferable to slow down rather than add fluff posts just to fill my daily blog quota. Of course the occasional art or artist post will be published when I find something cool.
The automatic del.ici.ous link posts I thought would be a good way to keep the information flowing without having full posts. I am curious how the readers out there feel about the del.ici.ous link posts — should they stay or go?
And while you are posting in the comments, please feel free to offer suggestions for future posts you’d like to see or topics you’d like to see covered. Lately it seems I have been overdosing on the Adobe Illustrator topic, and I would like to get more focused on cartooning and illustration in general. Sometimes it’s hard to see the forest for the trees…
I look forward to your thoughts.
