Loop, FlipFlop & RoundRobin

These are the names of MT Plug-ins I’ve tried to use on the new blog design without much success. I thought Loop was going to do it, but I’m not to much of a programmer, so I didn’t understand it right. I want to apply different background colors to each post. Loop did that, but it also made 4 different copies of all the posts in each color. Ooops. RoundRobin looked like exactly what I wanted, but the instructions were so sketchy that I’m not sure I got it installed right. Then reading the comments on the plug-in at the author’s site it appears that it doesn’t work with version 3 of Movable Type. Siiigh. FlipFlop looks like it will work on every other post. I’ll take that if I can get it. Plan “B” is to have all the posts one color and then I’ll just hard code the different colors on the sidebar.

I’ve still got 29 psi in the right rear tire. Which begs the question, what caused the original 8 psi air loss last week?

Speaking of Plan “B”, Sally, who we visited in DC last week, may have to implement her own alternative plan. She was all set to go to Pristina, Kosovo (formerly part of Yugoslavia), but there appears to be a major stumbling block. If if can’t be surmounted, she will chuck the 3 weeks of learning the Albanian language and start over with another. She has several choices of assignments, but when you are just starting out in the State Department you don’t get a primo spot right up front, so here are the current places where there are openings she could fill:
Windhoek, Namibia
Kathmandu, Nepal
Conakry, Guniea
Khartoum, Sudan
Amman, Jordan
Ashgabat, Turkmenistan
Port-au-Prince, Haiti
Where would you pick?

Started up, still up.
