Super Tuesday

February 6, 2008 · Posted in Politics · Comment 

Super Tuesday is over. And, as expected, the Democratic nominee is nowhere close to being called. Politico has the following totals for delegates: Clinton: 1000 & Obama: 902
Routt County voters did very well, throwing their support towards Obama; 428 votes versus just 148 votes for Clinton.

I am getting a bit disgusted with the thinking of the female Clinton supporters. It is worrying to me when I ask why someone is supporting Clinton and they answer with, “Because she’s a woman.” This is not a qualifying characteristic for me. Hillary has been in politics for far too long. She is much too entangled in the workings of the White House and I don’t feel that she has the necessary charisma to repair the damage done to our international respectability. Most countries don’t trust us anymore.

Obama = Change. He is a fresh breath of air in Washington. The special interest groups don’t own him. He also doesn’t have to kiss ass to any of the lobbyists. He has an extremely down-to-earth manner that will help bring the United States back into good standing with the international community. He is also not afraid to set a definitive timetable for returning our troops home. Something no other politician has been able to do.

America needs change. Think about it – Bush, Clinton, Clinton, Bush, Bush. That’s 20 years of nothing but the same.

Framing Gallery2 Into WordPress

February 4, 2008 · Posted in Nerdy Stuff · 1 Comment 

Here we go on another adventure in the world of websites and code that I know nothing about. One of the major features that I wanted to add to this site was to have my gallery embedded or at least appear to be embedded. There is a plug-in called WPG2 which does exactly that – properly. You may want to go ahead and check it out before you read any further. My method simply adds the gallery via an iframe. It does not integrate the gallery with WordPress.

I started by creating a new page and pasting a bit of code from another site that had an iframe. This is the snippet of code that I copied and pasted:
<p><iframe src="http://YourGalleryURLHere" id="searchFrame" frameborder="0" height="1030" width="725"></iframe></p>
You can adjust the height and width to make the iframe fit into your theme. And depending on your theme, some of you may be done at this point. My theme, however, was not so accommodating. The right sidebar was in the way.
