…hardest on myself whilst “zeroing in,” as it were, on my six month milestone. This is as my psyche seems to strive for irony.

Finally Done
I believe I have finally finished updating all sequence links to the new “Link” format. Previously, I had been using a custom menu widget, and had slowly but surely been redoing these links one at a time until just recently having finished the final link. Now it is much easier to move sequence links from “coming” to “new” to “featured,” &c. So… I have finally dispensed with the old menu widget in favor of a new crop of “link” widgets. I thought I would never get it done. But it has finally been completed.
On the gripe side of things: The Zemanta plugin appears not to be working any longer. Did wordpress.com dispense with their relationship with Zemanta? I really found it quite useful, and, if it is true that Zemanta is gone, I will mourn its loss. But what can one do?
Sonnet VI: Nurtured Nature
I lay in thought, while others raced ahead.
Until I understood what friendship was.
I chose to look, while others leapt instead,
And learned what loving is, and what it does.
I searched inside, while many never could,
To troll the depths and nature of desire,
Though scorned, I searched until I understood
The metal that would fealty require.
I learned; and kept my friendship, burning love,
And deep desire, gilt like royalty;
For now, I knew the worth and nature of
Such strong emotions wrapped in loyalty:
So nurtured, close together, as they grew,
Until the day I gave them all to you.

Intro 6: First Wisdom
To learn what he needs
A boy… or a boy most wise…
Or a boy who loves….
