A great plug-in to automatically post updates to commentators but low on documentation. This blog explains the basics but forgets to describe the [manager_link] feature in the options, i.e. how dynamically to link to the subscription manager.

In the option settings it says, “Customize the messages shown to different people. Use [manager_link] to insert the URI to the Subscription Manager.”

If you want to make the URL around the term “link to subscription manager” you’ll have to write:

<a href=”[manager_link]“>link to subscription manager</a>

That’s it.

P.s. An alternative plug-in is Filosofo enroll-comments.

After an initial search on shirtmakers with minimal requirements such as monogramming, shipping to Denmark etc. I found three. In general they all provide excellent service but when it comes to quality – taste of colour and design is your choice – this is the conclusion:

Tailored Shirts are of ok quality (difficult to iron) and I found the collars not being the same pictured on their site. After returning the shirts they sent me the same shirts back sewn differently. Good service but even then the collars seem to bend after a few hours of wearing (in spite of stiffeners). Also, if you want 100% customization this is the place but do yourself a favour, buy 1 test shirt for a start.

T.M.LEWIN shirts has very nice design but no monogramming! The Poplin 100 shirts are easy to iron but stay away from the shirts which have two contrasting yarns weaved together (end-on-end weaving) – impossible to iron with a good result. Note, stiffeners are made out of metal.

Charles Tyrwhitt (pronounced ‘territ’) has a very nice service as the two others… even though an order did not arrive, which is not their mistake, they just made a refund. Bought some shoes which I returned due to wrong sizing but got the right ones after a second go.

Brooks Brother is my latest favorite (feb. 2009). Got acquainted first time with the store from when my father worked in Chicago and lately again when travelling to London on a business trip. Unfortunately the shipment costs are bigger than the ones above but the quality (and price) is just better. Custom fit possible as well.

I hope I’ve made the choice easier.

Finally, got the tool, got the theme, got the content… well almost. I’ll be posting in past tense, i.e. pretend that my posts were written earlier in order to get the stories in the right sequence.

Until later.

Lego peeing and looking for sharks with indian – that’s just some of the things you can experience.

Not very scary. Just looking for frogs.

Ripping of the old tapestry revealed the old painting from 1954 which I think is better than retro.

This is what expected us in the early morning on our ceiling windows – unbelievable. It had rained the evening before and apparently overnight slow freezing occured.
