Has Anybody Here Seen My Old Friend Threaded Comments?
September 3, 2010 by Lillie
I have used Brian’s Threaded Comments for a very long time, even after WordPress came out with the threaded comments feature. I never could get the WordPress feature to work and decided my theme didn’t support it. For years, the plugin has given, as advertised, “threaded comments and a ‘wandering’ comment form.”
After the last WordPress upgrade, threaded comments have wandered off and must be lost in a maze somewhere. It looks like it should work—commenters have the choice to “reply to this comment.” However when they do, the comment appears by itself at the bottom of the list of comments, not nested with the original comment being replied to.
Any WordPress or plugin gurus out there have any suggestions?
And while you’re at it, any ideas on getting avatars to appear? When I moderate comments, I see all these pretty avatars in the dashboard … but they don’t show up in comments on the blog. That feature has never worked with this theme, and I gave up on it long ago. However, since I’m asking for help, I might as well try to find answers to all my questions. 
International Freelancers Day – September 24, 2010
September 1, 2010 by Lillie
International Freelancers Day is actually two-day online conference. The event features 25 speakers in 24 sessions (45 minutes each) on Friday, September 24 and Saturday, September 25, 2010.
You must register to attend the event, but registration is free, and you will have access to replays of the presentations if you can’t attend all the sessions live. Registration also gives you access to six pre-event videos.
The event bills itself as “the biggest ever free online conference exclusively for solo professionals.” The lineup of speakers is impressive, and the topics include many important to the success of any freelancer. The Web site includes the complete schedule and speaker bios.
Added 2/5/11: Even though the conference is over, check out the site as these folks are offering regular video training sessions for freelancers.
