Seeking some bits of coding support: comments have gone from Pages (again), but there are other things. Comments on posts were b0rked earlier this evening, for example. It’s really heinous for people to have to fire up IE (ffs!) to be able to comment, isn’t it? A new template must be in order, but that’ll have to wait a couple of weeks while the work backlog gets whipped into a light froth with lemon topping.
A couple of us are looking at schemas for training for new WordPress users, and as a consequence were thinking of setting up a geek-skill-hub thingy for the times when n00bs mess up their templates and suchlike. Maybe some more sophisticated things, too.
If you fancy offering the occasional 10 mins to half hour of time once in a while, or if you know anyone else who could do the same, please sign up here.
Oh and what is the difference between a geek and a nerd? The question popped up in my RSS reader today. Hmmm. Geeks and geekery is definitely sexy though. Is a nerd a Star Trekkie?

Geek vs Nerd: I think one of the terms is pejorative, only I always forget which one. The use of the word ‘geek’ usually implies deep knowledge around a specific field, like computers or science, whereas nerd implies an all-round collection of Star Trek interests in combination with bad social skills.
If you’re a nerd you might have poor body hygiene and your social skills might be a bit shaky. Nothing much wrong with wither of those though.
Geeks tend to get paid a lot, don’t they?
Geeks bite the heads off chickens.
Nerds is what we used to call ourselves at my alma mater; it carried with it a modicum of intellectual involvement (if not achievement), whereas “geek” lacked that and merely evoked “creepy”.
