New Widgets for Widget Enabled Themes

June 5th, 2006 by Mr. D. Sader

Quick SMS has evolved into “Snow-Mobile.” It’s still a cell phone text messenger, though.
Created a “Snowblower.” Look at snowflakes for a demonstration.
Enjoy.
PS. Thanks for your patience, if dropping Quick SMS borked your theme with a fatal error it’s not all that fatal. Click on “Sidebar Widgets” in your Dashboard and all is well again.
Out,

Do you want to send free text messages to a cell phone?

May 25th, 2006 by Mr. D. Sader

Look for the Quick SMS widget on any theme that has sidebar widgets. Mine works(vmobile.ca). I need someone to verify that the Telus Mobility widget works, too. If your provider is not listed, and you want it, let me know. Receiving texts messages on my cell phone, for me, is free. It’s sending them [...]

And now, I said, let me show in a figure how far our nature is enlightened or unenlightened: Behold! human beings living in a underground den, which has a mouth open towards the light and reaching all along the den; here they have been from their childhood, and have their legs and [...]
