Expanded Category Magic Thoughts

As I have mentioned before, I am doing a redevelopment of my Category Magic Plugin. I have reworked a lot of code and write I am in the testing phase. I have made some enhancements to the general structure of the plugin in order to make it flow better. I didn’t just stop at making the code flow better.

WordPress has made some changes along the way and the big addition has been tags. That means new features and tags are the biggest one when it comes to Category Magic. New changes I made in the code also include support for tags. I have listened to suggestions here and I decided to make sure that they was support for excerpts and full posts in the code.

All of this has introduced a brand new problem. As I prepare to release it, should I release it all as updates to category magic or should I just make the simple changes to Category Magic and release another plugin titled Expanded Category Magic, or something to that effect?

I’d love to hear some advice. Right now I am looking at having the new changes available for download within a couple of days of the release of 2.7. Now’s the time to make your voices heard.

Strength Through Trials

I was really touched by a quote recently I read from Bruce R McConkie. He was a church leader until his death in 1985. Not only was he a church leader, but he was also a leading theologian.

I know from time to time we experience trials and tribulations. Sometimes our walk is an arduous journey. I think he states so well the journey and reaching a goal and with just a few changes in words, it could fit just about any life situation. We all have those things in common and we can excel if we just endure to the end. Here’s the quote:

The Church is like a great caravan–organized, prepared, following an appointed course, with its captains of tens and captains of hundreds all in place.

What does it matter if a few barking dogs snap at the heels of the weary travellers? Or that predators claim those few who fall by the way? The caravan moves on.

Is there a ravine to cross, a miry mud hole to pull through, a steep grade to climb? So be it. The oxen are strong and the teamsters wise. The caravan moves on.

Are there storms that rage along the way, floods that wash away the bridges, deserts to cross, and rivers to ford? Such is life in this fallen sphere. The caravan moves on.

Ahead is the celestial city, the eternal Zion of our God, where all who maintain their position in the caravan shall find food and drink and rest. Thank God that the caravan moves on!

It is fast approaching Christmas time. It’s already November and that means it’s getting to be the time when you need to prepare everything for Christmas time. This means that you need to get gifts bought, you need to prepare the decorations and of course, you need to get your holiday cards ready.

This year, you should think about going with Custom Holiday Cards. These are holiday cards that are customized for your family. You can include pictures and images, whether it is landscape pictures or pictures of your family. Imagine sending out a Christmas card with your newborn baby?

Critique of Obama Economic Ideas

I think that with the election just two days away, we would do well to heed and listen to the words of Ezra Taft Benson concerning income redistribution and income inequality. I have a very nice talk he gave in 1977 concerning just this topic. I am not the only one who thinks it is very timely. In fact, it’s quite easy to find on Youtube.

I think I should remind everyone of one thing. We live in a republic. In a republic, we choose leaders who represent us and we send them to Washington, DC, not to vote the way we want them to, but for them to vote according to their conscience. This is why it is so important that we choose leaders who hold dear the same values that we do. If you choose a leader who is opposed to your values, you will only be disappointed with how he or she leads.
