grammar plugin
Sometimes I think I’d like to have my own technical staff on call to make whatever little technical improvements I decide are needed, but don’t have the time to actually do myself. Here’s the short list.
- A couple of navigation changes to my new template. A “home” function on the header when you navigate off the main page and a “newer posts” and “older posts” buttons at the bottom. I’d also like someone to investigate why a keyword search only goes back so far. I don’t know how far, but when I searched on a couple of terms I know I’ve used for over a year I don’t get all the posts.
- A little bit of code that would reformat a 20 page Word document into booklet layout without making my head explode or the computer freeze.
- I like how Firefox has a built in spell check that underlines when I type a word it doesn’t recognize. Very helpful, especially when I’m writing comments. Now I’d like one for grammar. One that will catch whether it should be they’re or their, its or it’s, etc. It’s not that I don’t know the rules. That is actually the problem: I know the rules. Knowing isn’t the issue. Doing is the issue. Because I guess sometimes your brain just misfires and the wrong one comes out of the fingers. I’m mortified when I go back to read something that is published and realize that I’ve made the error. So I’d like it to auto-magically be fixed, please.
- And as long as we’re at it, I could use a washer/dryer that loads and unloads itself.
This has been in heavy rotation on The Current lately. I thought it fit this post somehow….

I’d love to get you that washer/dryer and one for me while I’m at it!

I’d just be happy for a dishwasher who wasn’t me…And I do realize I say that all the time, but I mean it all the time.

As for #2. You can go into Page Setup and set the document to print in a booklet format complete with customized gutters.
As far as the washer/dryer thing…I would give my first born for a washer and dryer that could unload itself!

Excel is the only program I know anything about these days. I work in it constantly. I do not think “they” have invented one of those washer/dryer thingies yet.
