I’ve put together an editor to add quotes to my blog. I’ve incorporated it into the WordPress interface … I thought that would be the quickest and easiest way to get it into a secure area. You need to be logged in to WP in order to access it. It’s just a simple editor to add quotes to the database table I created. I don’t have very many quotes in it yet, so I’m not going to actually add it to the blog display yet. I’ll work on that tomorrow nite.

I had a little bit of confusion when I started this. I’m used to working with MSSQL syntax at work ‘cuz that’s the type of database we work with. I had to re-familiarize myself with MySQL. I just had to look at some of the other things I’ve coded and then I rememebered the correct syntax.

I still need to add the ability to edit an existing quote, but that isn’t a high priority for me right now. I’m the only one who is going to be using this … unless some other WP user out there is interested in it since it’s integrated into the WP admin interface.

The time to start treating myself better that is. That’s my New Year’s resolution for 2005. I need to take that seriously.

Today I had my 2nd review at work. I’ve been there just over 6 months. Being how I am, I was ready to get yelled at or even fired. I need to stop being like that. They had good things to say. Just a couple of things I need to work on, but they’re minor. And I’ll be getting another raise. Not sure how much yet, but every little bit helps.

But that shows me that I need to have more faith in myself. I need to stop feeling like everything that goes wrong is my fault.

That being said … I think I’m going to add some motivational quotes to my blog. Some random quotes pulled from a database. I’ve found some sites in the past with good, motivational quotes. Do you know of any? Leave a link in the comments if you do. I want to gather up a bunch to rotate through.

Mood: okay
