What’s Your Optimism Ratio? In his famous book Learned Optimism, Martin Seligman points out how our present use of language can be a fairly accurate predictor of future success. Interesting read.
From IT Facts: Less than 5 percent of Internet users currently employ RSS readers. That minority consists mainly of media and tech professionals, and bloggers who contend with information overload on a daily basis.
Juan from Chile wrote and asked how I implemented Matt's Asides into my Yadda theme here on johnhesch.com. It was a really easy modification to the index.php file located in the Yadda theme folder.
First create a new category and call it a unique name that will only be used for your mini-posts. I called mine Mini-Links. Then go back to the category section in your admin panel and see what the category ID number was given to the newly created category.
Now open up index.php in the Yadda theme folder and right below the following code
PHP:
-
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
add this
PHP:
What this does is look at the post to see if it's in category 29. (Remember, you need to change this to the correct category ID). If the post is in category 29 then style the post differently then the others.
Right before
PHP:
-
<?php endwhile; ?>
add the following
PHP:
-
<?php } ?>
Now open up the CSS file and add the CSS code you want to use to style mini-posts. I'm using the bullet image from the MinimalPlus theme from Thought Mechanics.
CSS:
-
-
ul.asides {
-
margin-bottom: 0px;
-
margin-left: 0px;
-
padding-left: 20px;
-
}
-
ul.asides li {
-
list-style: url(http://johnhesch.com/wp-images/bullet.jpg);
-
}
-
That's it. Now whenever you want to post an Aside just use the appropriate category.

Management Craft: Work/Life Balance
Here's a few questions to consider about work/life balance:
1. Are you meeting your goals at work? Why/why not?
2. Are you meeting your goals for personal growth? Are you spending adequate quality time with your family and friends? Why/why not?
3. Are you having fun? Why/why not? What is fun?
4. At the end of each week, are you filled with regret about what did not accomplish?
5. Fast forward for a minute. If you were in the hospital, dying, would you be satisfied with how you have spent your time?
