Do You Work On The Weekends?

I generally try and take my weekends off (even though I still sneak a look at my traffic stats a few times throughout the days) but I’m wondering if any of you do the same.

Working at home gives us a lot of freedom over when our work hours are, but I find that the days (weekdays and weekends) are more of the same than if I worked out of the home. For instance, I don’t look forward to Fridays as much as most people. My work is AT home so I can’t exactly get away from it. Even when I’m relaxing on the couch with a movie or a book, I can still see the computer out of the corner of my eye and there’s always that nagging feeling like I should be writing something.

Even so, I try and take some well-deserved “me time” which is usually on the weekends so that my leisure time coincides with my friends’ and family’s leisure time. However, I see a lot of my fellow mamas on the web are still diligently writing and posting.

There’s always the auto post feature in Wordpress that allows you to write a post and have Wordpress automatically submit it for you at a later date and time, but I’m not using it today. It’s Saturday and I should be spending time with my family. Instead, I’m sitting here with about 20 tabs open in Firefox and 3 posts on the go.

How about you?

Image upload http error in Wordpress - Fixed

Since I upgraded my Wordpress blogs to version 2.5 I’ve been having problems uploading images. I’d select the file to upload but when it went through the “crunching” process it would give me an HTTP error. Frustrating as hell!

I did a search on the Wordpress forum and on Google and came up with no solutions that worked for me until I found a post that mentioned the “Flexible-upload” plugin.

I’m super lazy when it comes to blogging (as you can probably tell if you’ve been a regular reader) so I haven’t done much with using plugins or additional features, but I’m kicking myself for not using this one earlier. Not only does it fix the http error for me, but you can add multiple images which is extremely handy if you use images a lot in your posts.

I know a lot of other people are having image uploading issues - even with version 2.5.1 - but hopefully this plugin will fix it for them as well.
