Not so smooth.  I haven’t performed the deed here, but I have on another blog.  Over all I must say it’s been a pretty good track record.  I’ve done many of these upgrades and really never had a problem.  Just re-read the instructions every time, and follow them to a T.

This time was different.  Eventhough I followed instructions, I was locked out of the Admin.  It accepted my log in, but kicked me back out to the log in menu.  Front page no problem.  Admin, forget it.  I read others with similar problems and tried their solutions.   NDG.

Finally someone suggested a fix, that worked for me.  So I spread the gospel…I renamed the plugin directory.  Logged in no problems, and named it back to what it should be. 

I don’t know what the funny would be on this.  Part of the instructions says to turn off all the plugins, and I had.  So had everyone else that I read about. 

Hope this helps someone.   Now we look forward to 2.7!

Another beef, I’ve had recently with Wordpress is the inability to post an image the old fashion way.  The insert edit image button brings up an incomplete window, rather blank, which forces me to upload an image any other way and use the link instead.  I’ve seen rants on this too.  I haven’t solved that one.  It happens in both IE and Firefox, I haven’t tried Safari yet but I suspect the results will be the same.

I welcome any known solution.  (I’m currently exploring the add media feature)

Dear Men of Craigslist,

Look, I know you men have it difficult. Women are just about impossible to understand, much less please. In a post-feminist society, you never know exactly what you should be doing. Women are bloody picky, I know we are. It can be scary, too, when women freak out about what appear to be benign issues. And men who do their best to be respectful, female-positive humans, I salute you, I do.

But please, please just fuck me already. Honestly, I appreciate your thoughtfulness. I like that you want to take things slow. I can totally get behind the idea of emotional connection, but dearjesusinheaven, FUCK ME. We’ve done dinner and drinks. We’ve gone dancing. We’ve cuddled and watched a movie. I’m wearing a low cut shirt and you’ve been staring at my breasts all night. Goodgodalmighty, get to it and fuck me.

When we get hot and heavy, please take charge. Please, please fuck me. Trust me, I’m not going to just lie still - I’ll get involved. But don’t make me force your hand into my panties. That makes me feel like a rapist. We’ve been kissing for a half hour and your hand keeps grazing my ass. That’s nice, but it’s time to move forward. Get on top of me. Don’t make me get on top right out of the gate and start bobbing up and down on your cock like I’m practicing some crazy new aerobic yoga because YOU won’t go down on me. Roll on top and start dry humping like a good boy should. Don’t gently suck my nipples and then pull back when I moan with pleasure. You being coy is totally not what I want. It’s not what WE want.

OK, I know it’s scary. There are lots of women out there who make fucking really difficult. So, I have compiled some handy tips. Don’t think of this as complaining, or as schadenfreude for the Andrea Dworkins of the world. Just some simple tips, for timid men who have forgotten what it means to fuck like men:

1. Taking charge is not bad. Oh, there will be some women who feel that you are pushy. If you are making out with a woman, and she starts to push back, ask nicely if things are moving too fast. If she says yes, say something like "I’m sorry - you just look so fucking delicious. I’ll go slower." Otherwise, skillfully move forward. If you start kissing a woman, and she responds well, and before long, you’re both on the floor with her skirt pushed up, and you on top of her, it’s not the time to roll onto your back and start awkwardly stroking the top of her head. Seriously, grow a goddamn pair. YOU’RE the man. Act like one.

2. Ohmyfuckinggod, please learn to respect the clit. It’s different for every woman, so ask what she likes. Do not, I repeat, do not just wiggle your fingers around her pussy like you’re trying to tickle her. Do not drum your fingertips against her vulva like you are impatiently waiting at the Sears Tire Center for your receipt. Do not push the clit like it is a doorbell at some house that you need to get inside of. Start by using all four fingers with firm yet gentle pressure against the outside of her pussy. Do not charge in with a single finger and start jabbing at things. And if you really don’t know what to do, ask her. Just ask. "How do you like it?". It’s a simple question, and most women will answer straight out. If she’s being all coy, ask "Do you like pressure? Is it sensitive?" The clitoris is a varied item, indeed. Treat each one as though you have never encountered one before. Forget everything that your last partner liked.

3. Most women like to be fucked, and fucked well. Yes, there are women out there who want to "make love" every time - sweet, gentle, rocking love with lots of eye contact and loving kisses. Those women are not the majority. The majority like to be pounded. The majority like to have their hair pulled. The majority like a good, solid jackhammering. When a woman is bucking wildly against you, it’s not because she wants you to pull back and slowly swirl your cock around her vagina like you’re mixing a cake batter up there. It’s because she wants you to hold down her arms, or grab her hips, or push her legs above her head, and fuck her harder. Don’t be too afraid of what this means as far as gender equality goes - I am a raging feminist bitch, but I still want to be penetrated like you are planning on fucking my throat from the inside out.

4. A little roughness is nice. Do not pretend that you had no idea that some women like their hair pulled. Do not act shocked if she wants you to spank her ("Really? Spanking? Won’t it hurt?" - yes, it does. That’s the fucking point). We know you’ve read Stuff and Maxim, and that’s all those laddie mags talk about in their "How to Please Her" sections. Start with light, full handed smacks to the area of her ass that she sits on. Judge her response and continue on from there. You don’t have to bend her over one knee and tell her she’s a naughty girl and that Daddy’s going to punish her; save that for the fifth date. Women are less delicate than you think, so don’t worry about breaking her hip.

5. It’s OK for you to make noise. Otherwise, we feel like we are fucking a ninja. Unless you actually are a ninja, and have sneaked into our rooms with vibrating nanuchaku and zippered black pajamas, please, please make some noise. If you’re banging a woman, and she’s crying out and saying your name and moaning, and you can’t even manage a grunt, she’s going to feel like an idiot. You don’t have to make the sounds she is making, but do SOMETHING. You know how when you are watching porn, and the girl does something great to the guy and the guy kind of goes "Ah!", half grunt, half yell? That’s HOT. Do that. Whisper our name (assuming you know it) gruffly. Groan against her neck when you’re in missionary position. You don’t have to grunt like a mountain gorilla, but if you are totally mute, she’s going to get worried.

6. Most women like dirty talk, in addition to the grunting. If you’d like to get some dirty talk going, ask her if she likes the way you fuck her. If she responds well, continue with something like, "I love fucking you. God, you look so fucking hot." Is she still moaning in response? "Your tits are so beautiful." Does that work? If she doesn’t respond well to the term "tits", you might have to stop there. If she keep moaning or responding, pass Go and collect $200. Try the following:

"Oh, god. Your pussy is SO tight."
"You’re so wet - are you wet because you like the feel of my cock ramming you?"
"I think I’m going to come inside you. I’m going to fill up your little cunt." It doesn’t matter that you’re wearing a condom; we LOVE hearing this.

If all of those work, you can then progress to things like "sexy little bitch" and "dirty whore". Tread carefully, but please, tread. Do not tiptoe. Do not sit down. Charge.

6. You’re not obligated to eat a woman out. In return, she’s not obligated to choke on your dick. Don’t skip one and expect the other. If you do eat a woman out, the only comment you should make about her pussy is how nice it is. The length of her labia minora, the color of her interior, her waxing job or full bush - you are not John Madden. No time for color commentary.

7. Do not bitch about condoms. Oh, we hate them. Trust us. They hurt us more than they hurt you. But we don’t want to be preggers, and you don’t want to catch anything, right? Don’t whine about condom sex. Do not explain that you can’t come with one on. LEARN to come with one on, or if not, help us figure out what to do with you once we’re satisfied and it’s time for you to let loose your load.

8. We really like it when you come. It’s called a money shot for a reason. Watching semen shoot out of you is one of the most gratifying things EVER. However, do not assume that she wants you to jack it off onto her face. She might, but don’t assume. Seeing and/or feeling you come is rewarding for us, so there’s no need to deprive us of it, but please do consult us before unleashing. "I think I’m going to come - how do you like it?" is a fair question that shouldn’t rob you of your testicles.

In recent memory, I’ve been fucked by a very aggressive, manly guy, and I’ve been… well, fucked is the wrong term here. I’ve been penetrated by a total and utter wuss. Who am I going to run back to when I’m ready for my fill? Manly McHardon, that’s who. —————————————————-

*New point of clarification - some people have brought up some really great issues in response to this post, so let me say this: I don’t mean to imply that all women like to be treated like whores. I do mean to say that most women I know have told me that they like sex rougher than most men give it to them. Rough does NOT equal chains and bondage. And this applies to the bedroom only, and does not mean that she wants you to choose her dinner for her, or treat her like less of a person. **Some women have said that they don’t like it rough and what the hell am I thinking? Well, girls, you’re in the minority. HOWEVER, all women need to remember that, in addition to be straight forward about your sexual desires, you need to be straight forward about your sexual limits. Don’t be afraid to ask for more, but when something feels wrong, say so. Don’t ever do something you don’t want to do in silence and then blame the guy. Silence is dangerous.

  300 Chocolate bars later, I bet this was invented by dentists.  Oh yeah reviews from last week end…  Great stuff as always.  This was a new setting for us, and it could have made a perfect horror scene for Halloween.  Including the no Hunting allowed signs. 

We were really "in the woods".  Yes we made the trees blush.  Of course, it rained all week end, so we had to revert to indoor sports.  Candles and the whole nine yards.

Speaking of the whole nine yards, here’s a blog I enjoyed going through:  The Seduction of Infedelity.  HNT, toy reviews, nice posts.  All around good stuff!

Let’s see what else is in my bag of goodies this week…  Oh yeah, on Kronomy dot com I found 2008’s Sexiest Women.  That may be of interest if you’ve got a Hollywood streak.  I’m sure everyone’s taste is a little different. 

On the artistic side, if your a Luis Royo fan, here’s a good link.  Talk about inspiration! Nicely coined.

 …And now for the graphic stuff, constant flow of images updated frequently.  A feed from IRC from Apina.biz.  Cheap thrills.  For movie goers, you might want to check out Tube8.com . Not a family channel!

 Hey! By the way I got my first newsletter.  Congrats to Alex & Suze for producing another fine product.

Don’t forget to brush your teeth after eating all the candy!

I started off with server side problems, my host was gracious enough to have an in depth look into the problem and I find my self rolling much better than before.  Speed, FTP, MySql…  I had all the problems you can imagine. That appears to be behind now and performance has improved.  Still, it’s 3 evenings of testing and sending feed back.

Here’s a  Wordpress related issue, I’m sure some of you have encountered, the insert image window remains blank.  There’s a small work around of course, but no fix in sight for the problem.

Busy week at the office, but got things done!

Things started looking up yesterday, as I got the pay off for a jobette I had done early September.  No I don’t usually give terms, but this was special with a promise for more repeats.

 Finally today is a day off and  DW and I are heading out to the country for a nice long week end.  I look forward to it.  It’s our first time there, fully equipped, log cabin in the woods.  Yes you can scream as loud as you want .  If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?  We’ll find out!  I just checked the weather forecast for the week end in this area, Rain all week end, pity!  :-)  I guess it’ll be indoor sports!  I didn’t think that would be tmi for you!

As for Blog world, I’ve been thinking of upgrading version.  Since it’s a long fall and winter, there’s no rush.  Just in case you’re bored and you were looking for new links, you might want to check these out.  Here’s a gateway to Motel Fetish, it kept me amused for some.  Nicely done.

Next, we have a young lady starting to write about high heels.  Definitely to be watched. If you’re just in the mood for some graphic stuff, not too graphic let’s say tasty shots, you can mozy on over to Dstudio.  Need more pics?  This one on blogger, Biscuit posts some personal shots on a regular basis. 

Done on Flickr but I’m sure you can hunt around for Titus Powell resources, you may need to let the guards down on your Flickr  settings for this one.

Have a nice week end, see you next week!

Does lace do anything for you guys? Or gals for that matter… Ever since I can remember, I’ve been attracted to lace.  I’ve actually come right out and told co-workers wearing fishnet stocking about my turn on.  I’m not much on dressing up for the occasion or asking DW to do so, but I think lace would definitely be one way to go.  Specifically fishnet.  Doesn’t matter how tightly it’s woven.

Let it come in all shapes and sizes!  From a well dressed bum to a nice pair of legs.  All the way to a sexy pair of boobs. 

To the touch, not really.  Unless it’s smooth.  To play around with the weave and intertwine my fingers in there, works for me.  The visual however, is outstanding.

By the way, you can catch Suze sporting a nice sexy, lacy bra on AlexSuze gallery. 

A look at some funnies sent to me this week.  At the office of course!  A short moment to help you get through the day…

Don’t hesitate!  Evaluate and Act!

 Stimulate your co-workers!  Give them some motivation.
